With the ODI World Cup just past us in 2023, the amount of ODI cricket in the new calendar year might be limited. This is because the ICC T20 World Cup is scheduled to take place in 2024, and the major teams will concentrate on that format instead of the more traditional ODI cricket.
Enough said, ODI cricket is there to stay, as we saw in the year gone by. In 2023, ODI cricket was played extensively by most of the teams, and it was indeed a great spectacle, especially the World Cup. So we can surely say that whatever ODI cricket has in store for us in 2024, it will be an exciting watch.
