ODI Cricket Is Just ‘too Long’, Should Be Reduced To 40 Overs: Wasim Akram
ODI World Cup: Legendary Pakistan fast-bowler Wasim Akram believes that ODI cricket is just ‘too long’ as the 50-over format in its current form and wants for it to be reduced to 40 overs. Pakistan finished at fifth place in the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup and aren’t scheduled to play a 50-over game till November 2024.
“There’ll be another 50-over World Cup? God, do something about ODIs. It’s just too long. The format has disappeared, especially the bilateral series. It’s a very different format from T20 and Test cricket, it’s kind of in between. You have to be a specialist.”
“I’ll probably go 40 overs instead of 50 because the attention span is gone. It’s disappearing a bit because of the T20 format. Test cricket is the ultimate, no doubt,” said Akram while commentating on day three of Australia-Pakistan Test at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
