"Test cricket cannot be a 10-men club. So in those countries where there is an opportunity, there is interest and where there is domestic structure (the format should be promoted)," he said.
About China's plans of taking active interest in cricket, Srinivasan told NDTV: "The Chinese are members of the Asian Cricket Council. Their representative made it clear that if cricket becomes an Olympic sport then they will plunge into it."
