ICC On ODI Format: MCC has suggested that ODI World Cup Bilateral ODI series should be stopped after 2027. During the Australia-England Lord’s Test, the MCC has suggested to the ICC to call off the bilateral ODI series. At the same time, MCC said that as the craze for T20 format and franchise cricket is increasing all over the world, the bilateral ODI series should be stopped. However, the members of the MCC hoped that the situation would definitely change from the World Cup 2023.
What did MCC say on Test format?
MCC says that the Test format has its own challenges. Test cricket has been a constant battle for survival. There are many countries in the world, who do not want to spend their money on 5-day matches. Also he gave the example of Zimbabwe. In fact, Zimbabwe had decided in the year 2017 that it would play maximum matches outside its countries. Means, will play in hosting other teams. Also, MCC has suggested that ICC arrange separate funds for Test matches.
A big decision is possible soon on the future of the ODI format. Actually, the popularity of ODI cricket is continuously decreasing, while T20 format fans are getting a lot. Especially, statistics show that after the Corona epidemic, fans are taking less interest in ODI cricket. Also, it is being said that the way the popularity of T20 format has increased, it is not easy to arrange a broadcaster for such ODI format. So in such a situation the bilateral ODI series can be called off.
So the ODI format will be scrapped?
According to media reports, ICC meeting will be held in Durban, South Africa in the coming days. A big decision on the ODI format is possible in this meeting. According to the news agency PTI, an ICC member said that the World Cup 2023 and Champions Trophy 2025 are close, but despite this the fans are not showing interest in the ODI format. He said that especially after the Corona epidemic, the fans have not shown much interest in ODIs because of T20. However, at the same time, he said that only a country like India can gather crowds for big events like World Cup 2023 and Champions Trophy with 50 over matches, which is necessary to save the ODI format.
Apart from the fans, the indifference of the broadcasters to the ODI format…
According to ICC, now broadcasters are focusing on Test series or T20 series. Broadcasters are not showing much interest in the ODI format. However, the final decision on what will be the future of the ODI format will be taken in the ICC meeting to be held in Durban.
