Ashes has kept Test cricket alive, rest need to raise their standards: Sourav Ganguly

Sourav Ganguly credited the ongoing Ashes series for keeping the "Test cricket alive". Although the rain-affected second Ashes Test at Lord's ended in a draw on Sunday, it had all the necessary ingredients to entertain the spectators -- be it gritty batting by Steve Smith or fiery spells by Jofra Archer. The former India skipper took to Twitter to heap praise on the Ashes series -- the pinnacle of England-Australia rivalry. In his tweet, Ganguly also put the onus on other countries to raise their standards in the longest format.

"The" Ashes " series have kept test cricket alive .... upto rest of the world to raise their standards," Ganguly tweeted.
