Former Pakistan Captain Feels Players Might Soon Lose Interest In International Cricket

England Test captain Ben Stokes' retirement from ODI cricket has ignited a debate over the sustainability of the 50-over format. Several current and former cricketers have suggested that ODI cricket is at its tipping point. And now, former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to monitor the number of T20 leagues played in a calendar year. Butt feels that too much T20 cricket might reduce the standard of cricket, and the players might not stay interested in playing international cricket, especially ODIs and Test cricket, in the near future.

An India vs Pakistan match is one of the most awaited encounters in the field of cricket. However, the fans easily don't get a chance to witness the tussle between the two sides in a cricket field as the two teams haven't played any bilateral series since January 2013. In such a case, they are only the multi-team events that give the fans a chance to cheer for their respective teams in the high-value match. The limited number of head-to-head matches in the last decade has further increased the importance of the face-off between the two sides.

Babar Azam has been hailed in recent times as one of the best batters of the modern era. The Pakistan cricket team captain is currently the NO. 1 ODI and T20I batter in ICC rankings.

The Indian cricket team and Pakistan cricket team face each other on October 23 at the 2022 T20 World Cup.
