‘ODI cricket dying a slow death’

Australian batter Usman Khawaja reckons that ODI cricket is "dying" while he believes that Test cricket still has a very 'strong presence.'

He said that ODI is third-ranked among all the formats, adding that it is going through a 'slow death.'

"I feel like that's (ODI) probably the third-ranked out of all of them," Khawaja was quoted saying by ESPN Cricinfo. "I think personally one-day cricket is dying a slow death, there's still the World Cup, which I think is really fun and it's enjoyable to watch, but other than that, even myself personally, I'm probably not into one-day cricket as much either."

"The majority of people I talk to still love Test cricket," said the 35-year-old. "It's my favourite format. Think Test cricket still has a very strong presence so don't really see that going anywhere. Think both [Tests, T20] can be quite easily balanced, but then you ask yourself the question does one-day cricket give."
