A Test Match is a format of cricket played between two national teams, lasting up to five days. Each team has two innings to bat and bowl, allowing for a thorough examination of skills and strategies. Test Matches are considered the highest standard of the game, showcasing the endurance and technique of players. The matches are played on a cricket pitch and can take place in various countries, governed by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Unlike shorter formats, Test Matches emphasize patience and concentration, making them a unique and respected aspect of the sport.
