This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition Make sure Cricket test matches played in the UK only start on a Thursday
Rejected on
Test matches in the UK are increasingly starting on days other than a Thursday. For example there is test match starting on a Saturday for India 2018 tour. For me this is wrong and another nail in the coffin of test cricket. Test cricket played in the UK should start on a Thursday.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is the responsibility of the England and Wales Cricket Board.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
