Mumbai, Aug. 25: Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Tuesday said that more Tests should be included in the international calendar to retain the viewers’ interest.
"I would love to play 12-15 Tests in a year apart from ODIs and Twenty20 cricket. To get people to come to stadiums to watch Test matches, there needs to be a fair amount of buzz created. Also like other countries there should be free tickets given to kids over weekends.
"Look at the recently-concluded Ashes series. Every day there were so many people coming to watch it so if they, we can do it as well," said Singh who was in the city for a promotional event.
On leg-spinner Amit Mishra who takes the place of the legendary Anil Kumble, Harbhajan said, "I have enjoyed bowling alongside Kumble and learnt a lot from him. But it is a great opportunity for Amit to do well. I wish him all the best."
