NEW DELHI: As the debate over the relevance of the ODI format rages, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is putting up a brave front to defend the only format of the game that has world champions every four years.
The ICC board met in Birmingham and discussed at length how to keep the format alive. "About relevance of ODIs, we talked about the structure of the game an d the way they are incorporated in FTP is countries and fans in different countries have different preferences with regards to formats. I think at this stage there were some discussions not specifically about ODIs but mix of formats within the calendar," ICC CEO Geoff Allardice said on Tuesday.
