    Ashwin Warns ICC Of Slow Death Of ODI Cricket After 2027 World Cup

    The Vijay Hazare Trophy: : Indian spin legend Ravichandran Ashwin has sounded a warning over the future of ODI cricket, expressing concern that the 50-over format could face a slow decline after the 2027 World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. With the growing dominance of T20 leagues worldwide and the enduring appeal of Test cricket, Ashwin believes the relevance of ODIs is steadily diminishing, and the format’s long-term survival is under threat.

    India's second-highest wicket-taker across formats with 765 scalps, Ashwin believes that once modern icons like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retire, the once-loved format will face an existential crisis of its own.

    "I am not sure about the future of ODI after the 2027 World Cup. I am a little worried about it. Of course, I am following the Vijay Hazare Trophy, but the manner in which I followed the SMAT, I am finding it slightly difficult to follow," Ashwin said on his Hindi YouTube channel, 'Ash Ki Baat'.
