I appeal to ICC to start the innings with 2 new balls. After 30 overs remove one ball. Continue play with the second ball. The last “ball will be just that. 35 overs are old and we will see some reverse swing at the end of the innings. Please, save the art of reverse swing.” Waqar’s post went viral on social media.

Wasim He said, “It is now very important to make ODIs exciting, so that young cricketers are also attracted to play ODIs. 50-50 overs have become too long and boring now,” said Wasim. The former Pakistan fast bowler said. That ODIs need to move with today’s era. Former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim further said, “If you make ODIs 40, 40 overs, it becomes very exciting. Sponsorship will also benefit. 8 overs per bowler… I think if we want to save ODI cricket let ICC think about it and make changes. You see now ODI cricket is taking more time. A match of 10 overs to 40 overs seems quite boring. The ICC will have to think about it.”
Wasim further said, “Nowadays people don’t have much time. They don’t want to watch cricket for so long. You have Test cricket which people love, but with the advent of T-20, ODI cricket has become more popular. Apart from this, former Pakistan Wicketkeeper Moeen Khan also expressed his opinion and said, “Look, we saw in Asia Cup too, fans did not come to watch many matches. There were very few of them. In such a situation, ODI cricket definitely suffers.”
