<p>Batting legend Graham Gooch believes that the intense five-match series between <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/india-vs-england-day-2-match-report-test-match-five-updates/article69882621.ece" target="_self">India and England</a> provides the much-needed boost for the "under-pressure" Test format. However, he expresses concern that the current trend of the "big three" mainly competing with each other could lead to monotony and stagnation within the game.</p>
<p>Most Test matches feature India, England, and Australia competing against one another in five-match series, while less financially stable nations like the West Indies, South Africa, and New Zealand are restricted to two or three-match series.</p>
<p>During an interview with <i>PTI</i> at the fifth and final Test, the former England captain emphasized the necessity for Test cricket to thrive beyond the "big three." He stated, "The ICC should consider how to assist less financially stable countries to ensure the preservation of Test cricket."</p>
<p>Gooch, who ranks as England's third-highest run scorer with 8,900 Test runs, continued, "If teams like New Zealand, West Indies, and South Africa play fewer Tests, then there will be no one left for them to compete against. It’s crucial to support the game as a whole."</p>
<p>Reflecting on the competitive spirit displayed throughout the five matches, Gooch praised the cricket showcased and the excitement generated by tightly contested games. "This series has been remarkable and invaluable for Test cricket, especially given the growing prominence of franchise cricket worldwide," he noted.</p>
<p>He also pointed out that despite the inexperience in the Indian lineup following the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, young players have excelled. "When one door closes, another opens. The new generation of Indian players has been impressive," Gooch stated, particularly commending captain Shubman Gill for his outstanding performances.</p>
<p>On the topic of England's dependence on Ben Stokes, who missed the final Test due to injury, Gooch remarked that this situation exposed gaps in England's bowling strength. "Stokes is a critical component of the team and without him, we struggle to have a balanced side," he explained.</p>
<p>Gooch also noted parallels between Stokes and Mohammed Siraj, both demonstrating exceptional commitment on the field. He expressed support for the on-field tensions observed during the series, believing it reflects the passion and competitive nature of international cricket.</p>
