E\ufeffnglish cricket great Michael Vaughan<\/a> has urged the game's governing body to consider changing Test matches to four days moving forward.<\/p>\n

"We've got players that are incredibly entertaining now," Vaughan said. SEN Afternoons<\/em>.<\/p>\n

"I believe four-day cricket would be easier to schedule. It'd be easy for everyone to understand that cricket starts every Thursday when we're playing the Test match game and it finishes on a Sunday … if it makes it.<\/p>\n

"Let's be honest, the way that the players go out and play their business now, they don't play like I used to play or some of the teams back in the 80s and 90s played.<\/p>\n

"They're playing a brand of cricket which is pretty much to try and win as quick as they possibly can and put the opposition under pressure.<\/p>\n

"I genuinely believe that the administrators need to seriously consider if it's time."<\/p>\n

Last year, England faced Ireland in a four-day Test match, which ultimately finished in the final session of day three.<\/p>\n
