Abu Dhabi: Former Indian left-arm pacer Zaheer Khan has endorsed Virat Kohli's idea of having "strong" Test centres across the country to bring in more fans to the stadium. However, Zaheer feels that five, as mooted by Kohli, is too small a number considering the size of India and that's why more such venues can be considered to host a Test match.

"(Strong Test centres) It makes things easier. In theory, it sounds good. But, maybe on the whole, the number can be debated. I feel five is just two small a number with regard to the size of the country," Zaheer told IANS on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi T10 league. "I am also in line with that thought process where you have dedicated Test centres are the criterions are met keeping in mind what is best for Test centres," he added.
