A New Format for a New Generation
Played over 80 overs, two innings of 20 overs per side, Test Twenty brings the essence of Test cricket into a single day. The format retains traditional outcomes (win, loss, tie, or draw) while ensuring fast-paced, broadcast-friendly play that rewards both strategic depth and player skill.
Speaking at the global launch event, Gaurav Bahirvani, Executive Chairman of The One One Six Network, said, “This isn’t another league, it’s a living tribute to the spirit of cricket. Test Twenty preserves the game’s legacy while shaping its future.”
Legends Lead the Vision
The Test Twenty Advisory Board features four of the game’s most iconic figures — AB de Villiers, Sir Clive Lloyd, Matthew Hayden, and Harbhajan Singh — united by a shared belief that cricket must evolve while staying true to its roots.
Sharing his thoughts, Advisory Board Member and AB de Villiers said, “Test Twenty is innovation with intent — it honours the traditions of the game while embracing the possibilities of the future. It gives young players a new dream to chase and fans a new story to follow.”
Sir Clive Lloyd remarked, “Having lived through every era of cricket, I can say this — the game has always adapted, but never this thoughtfully. Test Twenty brings back the art and rhythm of the sport, yet keeps it alive with modern energy.”
Matthew Hayden added, “As a player and a parent, I see this as cricket’s bridge between eras — a format that carries the wisdom of the old world into the fire of the new. For young players, this is a chance to grow not just as athletes, but as people.”
Harbhajan Singh stated, “Cricket needed a fresh heartbeat — something that connects today’s youth with the game’s original spirit. Test Twenty does exactly that.”
