I am probably old-fashioned and completely out-of-touch with the realities of modern cricket but JMHO
Totally agree Baz. Test Cricket should take priority over everything else. However Cricket Boards world wide just follow the cash. Whatever earns the most takes priority. Totally ignoring the fact that Test Cricket requires far higher levels of skill, concentration and fitness. FFS a bowler can only bowl a max of 4 overs in a T20 game. Could have to bowl 50 plus in a Test. A massive workload and if your not up to it you will be found out.
