West Indian batting legend Brian Lara is not concerned about the duration of Test matches as long as they are producing results.

Lara, who holds the record for the highest individual score in Tests (400 not out), also said that the Day/Night Tests were an "attraction" but not the way forward to popularise the longest format of the game.

Asked about his take on four-day or five-day Tests, Lara told PTI, "My only (thing) from Test cricket is that everyone that watches cricket knows the game is going to end in a result, that in itself will peak in interest."
