Wasim Akram’s recent remarks have taken people by shock as he suggests ODI Cricket should end from International Calender.
Further, he said, “The cricket authorities should consider ending the 50-over matches. As a commentator, I find one-day cricket too long.”. “I think so. In England, you have full houses. In India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and South Africa, you are not going to fill the stadiums during one-day cricket matches they are doing it just for the sake of doing it. After the first ten overs, it’s just ‘OK, just get a run, get a boundary, four fielders in, and you get to 200, 220 in 40 overs’ and then have a go last ten overs. Another 100. It’s kind of run-of-the-mill. ” he said when asked if administrators should consider scrapping ODI cricket.
This statement came in support of Ben Stokes who recently retired and former Pakistan captain fully backed him for his decision later Wasim Akram said,” T20 is kind of easier as the game is over within four hours. One-day cricket is kind of dying”.
