The 50 overs format has garnered a slew of critics lately. A list of active and retired gamers have expressed their unanimous opinion about the dying nature of ODIs.


India's cricketer and commentator Ravi Shastri has backed Shahid Afridi's proposal to reduce the ODI format to 40 overs per side, saying it wouldn't hurt as it was reduced from 60 to 50 overs decades ago.

During the West Indies-India ODI series, Shastri commented that the 1983 World Cup had 60-over games but the games were a little too long so the format was cut by 10 overs.

There are calls for the format to be scrapped, while others have warned the board of its slow demise. Meanwhile, former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri has come to terms with Pakistan's great Shahid Afridi and proposed the change ODI needs to survive.

The retirement of Ben Stokes from ODIs at the age of 31 has raised concerns that the fifty-over format is the least ranked format for players.

Ravichandran Ashwin has admitted the format has become boring. During his time on the 2nd ODI commentary, Ravi Shastri had an interesting attitude.

The 60-year-old believes ODIs need to be reduced to 40 overs. He said that when India won the World Cup in 1983 the format was 60 overs but was reduced to 50 overs over time. So he thinks it's the right time to make changes.

He said: "There's no harm in shortening the span of the game. When one-day cricket started it was 60 overs. When we won the World Cup in 1983 it was 60 overs. After that, people thought 60 overs was a little too long. People found that the overs range from 20 to 40 and is difficult to digest. So they reduced it from 60 to 50. Years have passed since that decision, so why not downsize from 50 to 40 now? Because you have to think ahead and develop further. It stayed at 50 for too long.

Since the 2019 ODI World Cup, all cricket boards have ignored the ODI format and earlier this month Cricket South Africa canceled a three-game ODI series against Australia to host its franchise tournament.

Remarkably, Shahid Afridi also expressed the same thing, calling ODI boring.

“One-day cricket has gotten pretty boring these days. I would suggest cutting ODI Cricket from 50 overs to 40 overs to make it entertaining," he had said.
