Make sure Cricket test matches played in the UK only start on a Thursday
Rejected

What the petition asks
Test matches in the UK are increasingly starting on days other than a Thursday. For example there is test match starting on a Saturday for India 2018 tour. For me this is wrong and another nail in the coffin of test cricket. Test cricket played in the UK should start on a Thursday.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is the responsibility of the England and Wales Cricket Board.
