Former South Africa player Jonty Rhodes said while there could be fewer bilateral ODI series in the future, it’s difficult to imagine cricket without the 50-over format.
“When T20 cricket first started, people were saying it is going to put pressure on Test cricket and amazingly it has not.
Some of the Test cricket looks like T20 at times, there is some aggressive batting and bowling,” Rhodes told the media during the jersey launch of European T20 Premier League (ETPL) team Rotterdam Dockers.
“For me, it is always understanding that 50-overs cricket might be the one format where — because we bring in such a fresh crowd and a different perspective into the game — possibly 50-overs cricket might be in trouble in the years ahead.
At this stage, I think there will be fewer and fewer bilateral series… but it is very difficult to think of cricket without the 50-over version,” he added.
