Test cricket is the longest form of the sport of cricket
and is considered its highest standard. Test matches are played between
national representative teams with "Test status", as determined by the International Cricket Council
(ICC). The two teams of 11 players play a four-innings match, which may

generally considered the most complete examination of teams' playing
ability and endurance.The origin of the name Test stems from the long, grueling match being a "test" of the relative strength of the two sides
