The reinvention of one-day cricket has been a hot topic of discussion over the past few months. The growth of Twenty20 cricket has raised serious questions over the future of the 50-over game. Though it is still remained the two main ICC tournaments, some boards have already shortened their domestic format. Suggestions for change have been plenty and even the ICC is thinking about tweaking the format. Recently the Australian captain, has joined the debate by calling for a points system to give the format "significant meaning". Speaking ahead of Australia's departure for India for a seven-match ODI series, Ponting gave the example of the 6-1 win over England recently as proof that dead rubbers hurt the game.
The England cricket board plans to hosting day-night tests if approved by ICC. Graeme Smith and Kumar Sangakkara felt the ICC Champions Trophy would be crucial in directing the future of the ODI as a viable format in international cricket. The ICC is considering a trial, splitting of one-day matches into two innings of 25 overs for each team, a proposal Sachin Tendulkar had suggested earlier.
