There is already an opinion among some former players that one-day matches should not be held anymore. Currently, some teams are playing ODIs only in international tournaments like the world cup and the Champions Trophy. The indian team played only three ODIs last year. In that sense, the importance of ODIs is decreasing. The fact that fans are not coming to the stadium even in big ODI series like the Champions Trophy has caused concern among cricket fans. The future of ODIs is in question.
