One Day International (ODI) is a form of cricket, which is played over 50 overs per side between two national cricket teams. The Cricket World Cup is played in this format. One Day International matches are also called "Limited Overs Internationals.
A Twenty20 game is completed in about three hours, with each innings lasting around 75 minutes, thus bringing the game closer to the timespan of other popular team sports . It was introduced to create a lively form of the game which would be attractive to spectators at the ground and viewers on television and as such it has been very successful.The game has spread around the cricket world.The inaugural ICC World Twenty20 was played in South Africa in 2007 with India defeating Pakistan in the final.
But the shorter form of the game requires a lot more effort from the players than test cricket.
More players now adays are kept out of action due to fitness problems.
So do you think the shorter forms of the game is actually negatively impacting the players?
