Former Test batsman Sanjay Manjrekar reckons cricketers will get loads of money while performing well in white-ball cricket, but if they succeed in Test cricket, they will get “genuine respect.” “There’s no harm in excellence of any kind. If you seek 50-over or T20 excellence, that’s fine. And anyone who has special fondness for Test cricket, remember one thing… you may not make as much money, and won’t have a huge bank balance, but you’ll get genuine respect as a performer from your fellow cricketers and peers. So, if that’s important to you, maybe that is the motivation to play Test cricket [for you],” Manjrekar said during his speech as chief guest at the 77th Police Shield prize distribution function at the Police Gymkhana on Monday.
