CSA squeeze out home fans with ticket sales for New Year's Test

Actually such a joke. 13% of tickets released to the general public. Never even had a chance to purchase them and theyโ€™re now being resold for R11k

The New Yearโ€™s Test is an iconic part of Cape Town and CSA has chosen greed over the fans. Iโ€™m forced to miss my first NY test in years and the excuse is we can still watch the Aus test, which is in October (when everyone has exams and work) during the week.

Not to even mention that now itโ€™ll be a home game for England, what a joke

SMAT should be way bigger than it currently is โ€” what is BCCI missing?

State pride + Indian stars + T20 cricketโ€ฆ so why isnโ€™t SMAT huge yet? It is basically IPL minus overseas players. It has everything needed to be India's biggest domestic t20 tournament.

Every time SMAT comes around, I feel like it has way more potential than the hype it gets.

It is basically a T20 tournament with everything going for it: state pride, real Indian talent, matchups that can actually feel massive, and a direct impact on the IPL selection pipeline. Unlike the IPL, players are representing their states, which gives the games a different emotional weight. Watching a Haryana, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, or Hyderabad side feels much more rooted and personal.

And the quality is not the issue. The talent pool is already ridiculous. In a single match you can see established Indian stars, breakout youngsters, domestic specialists, and future IPL names all in one place. Games like Punjab vs Hyderabad or Mumbai vs Tamil Nadu can easily be as exciting as many franchise T20 clashes.

That is why I genuinely do not understand why SMAT still feels so under-marketed. It has the ingredients to become one of Indiaโ€™s most anticipated cricket tournaments of the year: proper broadcast quality, better grounds, more visible promotion, packed stadiums, and a little more hype from BCCI and broadcasters could change everything.

Right now it still feels like a hidden talent-factory instead of a proper premium T20 event. It helps scout players, feeds the IPL, and has all the energy of a top competition, but it is not treated like one.

Honestly, this feels like a missed opportunity. With better production, better venues, and smarter marketing, SMAT could become a must-watch event for fans, not just a selection tournament for scouts.

What do you think is holding it back the most: lack of marketing, poor broadcast quality, bad venues, or just fan interest not being built properly?
