Ian Chappell questions ICC's criteria for awarding Test status

Ian Chappell has questioned the ICC's criteria for awarding Test status to its Associate members. In a column penned for ESPNCricinfo, Chappell wrote: "Most of the recent Test-appointed nations don't come close to meeting any reasonable criteria. For instance, could Afghanistan hold a Test series in their strife-torn country? Does Ireland have a realistic number of Test-standard grounds?"
