What is the future of non-T20 formats?

[G. S. Kohli]

I wonder what is the status of ODI & Test cricket as twenty 20 took most time in single calender year from all major test playing Countries except pakistan

 

[Socerer 01]

you mean the same Pakistan that is drastically reducing their tests in the next ftp and currently played a 7 match t20 series?

There will still be a place for test cricket.

ODIs will probably still be around but maybe less so. They may even become 40 over games at some point In the future.

The Hundred? Won't get off the ground.

Hi Aidan, hope all well. I would agree that ODIs will be around a lot less. Test cricket will probably only be played in reasonably large amounts by the "Big 3". All other countries are fairly obviously reducing their test match output. It will be largely about t20 because that's where the money is, sad to say.

I don’t think that any country will actually stop playing tests due to the implied loss of status. Two test series will however become the norm, indeed in the latest future tours programme we are arguablthere already.
Bilateral ODI series often feel extraneous already however they will continue as long as there is popular demand. I suspect that there is considerable life in them as a ‘nice day out’ and ‘tv schedule filler’, aimed at the more causal cricket spectator.
That at least is by base case. My concern is that, if a country takes the decision to withdraw from test matches, the whole structure could implode rather quickly. If not playing tests, there would be no rationale for that country to fund a first class structure or for players to develop they skillset.As soon as one country took the leap, it would be easier for others to follow. I hope of course that this does not happen.
