Rhodes recalled how people predicted that the advent of T20 cricket would threaten Test matches. However, he noted that hasn't happened. "But for me, it was always understanding that 50-over cricket might be the one format where, because we bring in such a fresh crowd and a different perspective into the game, possibly 50-over cricket might be in trouble in the years ahead," he stated. This suggests his belief that ODIs could face challenges due to changing viewer preferences and formats like T20s.
