Why is Doshi t impressed with T10 format?

When a participant asked about T10 format, Doshi said, "T20 is lowest ceiling in my view or maintaining still some of aestics of game. Once you go lower than that, you will have to make a huge compromise and I think game would suffer from that compromise," Doshi said.
 

Taking a dig at T20-driven shorter formats of game, he said players with incomplete or b action are winning Man-of--Match awards se days." exceptional talent can come only from proper breeding ground. I think more and more T20s and more and more shortened versions are showing that people with incomplete actions, b actions, sledge-hammering game for 10 balls are winning Man of Match and y have suddenly arrived on scene...," he said. "So from this angle y filter urds, n I think y are found wanting at higher levels. If you really want to watch game properly, quality must filter from top, which is from Test cricket, first-class cricket downwards, that is my personal opinion," Doshi said.
