Usman Khawaja: The one-day format is slowly moving towards death, Usman Khawaja vents his anger on the ongoing cricket

Australian batsman Usman Khawaja believes that one-day cricket is slowly coming to an end. Due to the continuous cricket, Khawaja expressed his concern about this format of cricket. Furthermore, he was not surprised by the retirement of all-rounder Ben Stokes, the Test captain of England, from ODIs. Khawaja further said, ‘I have my own personal opinion. You have Test cricket, which is the pinnacle, you have T20 cricket, which obviously has leagues around the world, it’s people’s entertainment, what cricket fans love the most is this league. Then there is ODI cricket.

In Brisbane, Khawaja said, ‘I think maybe ODI cricket is third out of them all. Individual one-day cricket is slowly dying out. Which I think is really fun and enjoyable to watch.’

Khawaja last played an ODI for Australia since the 2019 Men’s Cricket World Cup. Khawaja, who made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka in 2013, got a chance to play 40 matches for Australia. During this, he has scored 1554 runs in this format at an average of 42. During this, he has scored 12 fifties and 2 centuries.

Khawaja feels that 50-over matches are of little importance due to the Men’s T20 World Cup to be held in the country in October-November. Before defending their T20 World Cup title at home, Australia are scheduled to play three ODIs each against Zimbabwe and New Zealand in Townsville and Cairns respectively.

They will then fly to India for a three-match T20 series before facing West Indies in two T20s and England in three T20s as part of preparations for the Men’s T20 World Cup this year.

Khawaja, who made a spectacular comeback with two hundreds in the fourth Ashes Test in Sydney, admitted that it will not be easy for a cricketer to play in all three formats of the game. He further said, ‘If you are playing all three formats of the game, then there is a lot of pressure on you. It is not impossible, but not very difficult either.
