A former India cricketer says he has “no interest” in one-day internationals (ODIs) and argues that bilateral ODI cricket could decline as T20 leagues grow in popularity. The comments come from a player who has appeared in more than 200 ODIs for India, according to the report.
The outlet frames the issue as part of a broader shift in the sport’s landscape. It cites the rise of franchise T20 competition as a key factor pulling attention away from traditional bilateral international formats. While the statement is directly about ODIs, it is also presented as a wider prediction about how cricket’s scheduling and fan interest may evolve. The report does not dispute that ODIs remain a major part of cricket, but suggests the relative pull of shorter, league-based tournaments is increasing.
