We often see phrases like "not of Test status", or "country X deserves Test status" on this forum but what does that really mean?
Is it possible for us to reach a general concensus on what criteria a country/region etc must meet i order to be granted Test status.
In order for a Team to be said to be good enough, or alternatively not ready, the conclusion must be based on qualifying criteria.
If it cant be measured then it is worthless.
So what do we think are the defined criteria a team must meet?
Obvious areas would be standard, playing population, history etc
Please offer your opinion and lets see if we can draw up a CricketWeb Code of Test Entry
