Test captaincy

Test captaincy refers to the leadership role of the main player responsible for guiding a cricket team's performance in Test matches, which are the longest and most traditional form of the game. The Test captain makes strategic decisions such as setting field placements, choosing bowlers or batters, and adjusting tactics based on the game’s flow. They need strong communication, tactical insight, and mental resilience to motivate the team and adapt to changing conditions over multiple days. Effective Test captaincy is crucial for building team strategy, maintaining composure under pressure, and ultimately aiming for success in the most demanding format of cricket.
