"Test cricket is at risk of becoming an event only for the elite."- David Lloyd criticises ENG-IND 'ridiculous' pricing Lord’s Test

In 2025, India will embark on a tour of England, and many supporters are eagerly awaiting the highly anticipated match. The third Test match of the series is scheduled to take place at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. However, the ticket costs for this specific game have increased to £175 (INR 19,544), leaving supporters confused. In addition, the least expensive seats, which have a limited view, cost £90 (about INR 10,000) for days one through three.

Former England cricketer David Lloyd has blasted the authorities over the absurdly high fees, saying that Test cricket is in danger of turning into “an event only for the elite”.

It’s absurd to pay so much for a seat where your view of the entire pitch is blocked. What could you overlook? The guy with the bats? A snatch at the small limb? There’s a risk that Test cricket will only be played by the best. Regular fans who can’t afford such expensive prices run the risk of being excluded. While it’s entertaining to see famous people at events, cricket should serve all audiences, not just the wealthy, according to a News18 report citing Lloyd.

For the average fan, let me say this: David Lloyd

Lloyd continued by saying that the Lord’s Cricket Grounds sets the bar for ticket costs and even claimed that those in charge of setting them live in a separate reality.

But who determines these costs? Who determines what a reasonable £175 is? I’m curious to know the response. I speak for the average fan here. the type that likes a pie and Bovril while watching a football game. We think it’s ridiculous to pay £120–£175 for a single cricket match. The MCC seems to understand the cost of everything but the worth of nothing. They run the risk of severing the public’s bond with this outstanding England side, according to Lloyd.

Many social media users expressed agreement with Lloyd’s assessment, acknowledging that they would not be able to purchase tickets at such high prices.
