NZ won their first Test after 26 years (when their 4th generation of players were playing). Besides, that time there were no pressure of money,media,fan, etc. England, Australia and WI used to send their 2nd team to NZ. Once England sent two teams to Australia and NZ at the same time. I thing because of the Test status we have more sponsors, fan interest, etc. Test status has given the chance to BD players to play against the best players of the world. In other words Test status has helped BD cricket in my opinion.
