"I actually think the biggest issue in the English and world game is getting a simple structure for the fans. If you are doing that, you know something has gone wrong somewhere down the line." The beauty of the international game is the competition between the teams. Test cricket is extremely expensive to host and a lot of Test nations are solely reliant on England, Australia and India touring, which doesn't happen enough,. "Franchise cricket is ruling the roost and will rule the roost, so how are you going to still have international cricket going? That tells you all you need to know about the balance of power between international and franchise cricket. We have four formats in England so something has to give and if that ends up being 50-over cricket that might be okay. "But if you want Test cricket to survive you cannot have 10, 12 teams playing. What will have to give is bilateral international cricket. It's great for my development, I guess, but given the choice, I would rather be playing in a competition with more eyes on it'. "We have to look at reality. No one seemed to have the wherewithal to think about knitting it all together.

As a boy, Abeysekera saw Don Bradman play at the Colombo Oval in 1948, and nearly half a century later watched Sri Lanka defeat Australia in Lahore to win the 50-over World Cup, one of his lifetime cricketing highlights. "This is something else, but I somehow manage to come to the ground."

Longer-form white-ball cricket is paying the price for the T20 takeover – I'm not sure if anything can save it now.

When I’m coaching I talk about giving the bowler a small box – once they know if they drop the ball short they will be cut or pulled but if they bowl full they will get driven, they are left with a tiny area where they can pitch it without taking punishment. He might be capable of clearing the longest boundary but sometimes it is better not to try – he keeps getting caught in the deep and I feel he is a better player than we are seeing. The truth is he is a master batsman – the reason he was England’s player of the tournament at the 2019 World Cup is that when wickets were not straightforward he batted in a careful fashion and chiselled out totals. I do think we have not seen the best of Stokes either with bat or ball this summer, and perhaps a bit of time and space will allow him to bring clarity to his batting. People say that Twenty20 is what the youngsters want, and without doubt the format has brought huge entertainment and given the game new life, but in the pursuit of profit it is being allowed to completely take over the calendar. His retirement took me completely by surprise, and is a huge blow for the team.

Australian Test opener Usman Khawaja is of the view that due to rapid surge of T20 cricket in the world, ODI cricket is witnessing a slow death.

Khawaja feels while it is not impossible for any cricketer to be a three-format player, it is gradually becoming quite exhausting for all and sundry.
