Kagiso Rabada feels that all Test-playing nations should try to give stiff competition to the big three countries to set an equilibrium among teams. Notably, in recent times, the longest format of the game has been dominated by the top three cricketing nations – India, England, and Australia, who play the most number of matches in every cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC).

With other nations lagging behind, the South African speedster opined that a solid performance in the WTC 2023-2025 cycle could help bring an equilibrium in the game. Rabada said that performing well in the ICC event is one thing which is within the control of the teams outside the big three.

“It’s up to us as well to boost the game. You look at the big three, Australia, England, India and they just have the most money to be quite frank. However, if you want those nations playing against you, then you need to be playing good cricket. You need to be challenging for that ICC mace or World Test Championship (WTC). That’s one of the ways in which you have control to set an equilibrium amongst teams. That’s one thing that the unions can control: to play good cricket,” Rabada was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.

Rabada noted that the West Indies beating Australia in Brisbane earlier this year was the kind of result that inspires a fan base. He said that more such wins can bring the teams on equal terms in the purest format of the sport.

“We saw when West Indies went and beat Australia, that brought a spark back to West Indies Test cricket. And more of that just needs to happen. The celebrations after Shamar Joseph bowled the way that he did – people were crying, people were very emotional. A picture tells a story of a thousand words. So all you have to do is look at those scenes and it’ll tell you,” the right-arm pacer stated.
