Cricketers who couldn't fulfill their potential in test cricket - a podcast by Beyond

Test match cricket is considered the hardest format of the game, and rightly so. It's a game that requires a lot of skill, patience, concentration, determination, and numerous other challenges are to be tackled over 5 days. Some of the brightest talents in the game have shown glimpses but failed to showcase their true potential in this format due to various reasons. 

Some of the categories of players include- 

• Playing in the wrong era when the team was stacked with legends of the game


• Being injured too often


• Performed well in ODIs, but couldn't replicate in tests


• Players being mismanaged by boards


• Disciplinary issues or mental issues holding them back


• Players who took up Kolpak deals


• Players playing in the smaller sides that don't play too much test cricket

In this episode, my guest speaker, Venkatesh and I, discuss some of the most talented cricketers who couldn't quite fulfill their potential in test cricket.  

Listen in to find out who are the players who join the likes of Yuvraj Singh, Eoin Morgan, Suresh Raina, Shane Bond, Shoaib Akhtar, Ryan Harris, Shahid Afridi, Lasith Malinga and Brad Hodge in this list.
