ODIs Pushed To The Margin, But Still Preferred By Players, Says Jos Buttler
ODI World Cup: With the proliferation of franchise cricket all around, 50-over cricket has been pushed to the margin and struggling for its place in the cricket horizon, admitted England ODI captain Jos Buttler, who however said he would attach more importance to winning the ODI World Cup than the T20 one.
Buttler was asked the question because England are playing their first ODI match in India since the 2023 World Cup, while India have played only three 50-over matches in the year they won their second T20 World Cup title. With both teams set to play in the Champions Trophy later this month, they will go into the tournament with only the current three-game series behind them.
"It's certainly been pushed a little bit towards the margins in the recent years and the way scheduling is and obviously the rise of T20 and franchise cricket (has played its role). But I still believe if you talk to guys about winning a World Cup, they'd probably say a 50-over World Cup ahead of a T20 World Cup at the moment," said Buttler on the eve of the first ODI of the three-match series against India at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium here.
