“Worrying for future of Test cricket” – Twitter reacts as 20,000 tickets remain unsold for Eng vs NZ Lord’s Test

England Test cricket is currently on a low and is going downwards as the Three Lions now prepare for the upcoming 3 match Test series against New Zealand starting from June the 2nd.

While the England cricket team achieved big in the 2019 Cricket World Cup by winning their first ever 50 over world, the Test team is currently going through a very patch.

The Three Lions currently hangs right at the bottom of the World Test Championship 2021-2023 cycle and saw a big transition as captain Joe Root has been replaced with Ben Stokes, while former Kiwi batsman Brendon McCullum has been appointed the new white ball coach.

After the news broke out, many former cricketers, journalists and experts gone on to criticise ECB for not being able to sell out a venue like Lord’s and even for keeping the ticket price at 100 pound. Check-out how Twitter reacted to the development.
