Surely there are MANY things we ought to do in order to improve as a test side, but I don't think either a revocation or a suspension of test status will light the proverbial fire under our @$$es and get us to finally do those things we've neglected since day 1. If anything, such absence from the test area will demoralize us and accelerate our decline. We need to play more tests and schedule more A-Team and Academy FC cricket tours to develop a sustainable pipeline.
Also, thanks to our passionate and loyal fans, our status won't be revoked or suspended in light of ICC's strategic considerations.
