There have been calls from the cricket expert to do away with One Day format of the game to save cricket and save cricketers from cricket overkill. The argument is that After the success of T20, the One Day games have lost their sheen. But that is not true.
One Day International games remain as attractive and interesting as they were ever in the past. One Day cricket has its own charm so are the other formats of the game. Positive steps are required to maintain a balance between all formats of the game. Rather than wrapping up One Day format of the game altogether, we can reduce the number of one days played during a season.
One solution is to have three games for each format of the game in a bilateral series. Why have something like three tests, five one dayers and 2 T20s. The better combination and schedule would be to have three tests, three one dayers, and three T20. Do not play more than three ODIs in a bilateral One Day series and instead more tests and T20s could be accomodated. If one has to play more tests in a series one can do away with one day or T20s in that series. One day can be played in multinational tournaments like Asia Cup, World Cup, and Champion Trophy to name a few. Balance can be maintained between all formats of the game and all formats of the game can exist together.
