Cricket | There has been an increase in the number of Test and T20 International matches in a calendar year since the World Cup 2019, while the number of ODIs has seen a significant decline in 2020, which is the highest ever in 50-over cricket since 1991. Fewer matches have been seen. After the decline in ODI cricket, former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja has given his opinion on this. England all-rounder Ben Stokes announced his retirement from ODI cricket last week at the age of just 31. Stokes was instrumental in England's historic victory in the 2019 World Cup. Discussions on the future of ODI cricket have been going on since his retirement.

Jadeja commented during the second ODI between India and West Indies played in Port of Spain, Trinidad, "There was a time when Test matches were being played less with the advent of one-day cricket as it again affected players, broadcasters and It is more productive for the association. Broadcasters have an important role to play in this because if you notice, whoever gets the media rights gets more popularity."

He further said, "ODIs were expensive at one time. Then came T20s, now their rights have increased and so ODIs are being played less. But Tests will always be there. In fact, India is now the number of Test matches played 20-30 years ago. Playing more Test matches in comparison. But ODI... who has 7 hours, if the work goes on in three and a half hours?
