West Indies batting legend Desmond Haynes is worried about the impact of the lucrative Indian Twenty20 leagues on mainstream cricket.

Speaking at the Ministry of Sport Symposium on re-building West Indies cricket on Wednesday, the former opening batsman suggested that the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Indian Cricket League could cripple Test cricket.

“I am worried about the Indian leagues right now. I am worried that it may destroy the game that has given me so much,” Haynes said.

“This is something that the International Cricket Council (ICC) needs to address very quickly. Test cricket is already dying and if measures are not taken to revive it, then it would be something of the past.”
