I disagree. Test cricket is played over 5 days not 2. In order to improve our test performances we need to replicate the 5-day game as accurately as possible. The best way to do this is either (ideally) through 4 day games or 3 day games. I accept that playing 90 overs in a two-day format is a small step in the right direction, but it won't have any discernable impact.
We already have 4 day cricket (the NCL) but the quality of this 1st class competition is questionable. The dhaka league clubs are much better so it makes sense to have them play 4 day cricket instead.
I don't see any other countries around the world experimenting with 90 over cricket over 2 days. But I admit I am unclear as to how it will work, so there may be some wisdom in it. Right now, I just can't see it...
