Moeen Ali warns "long, boring" ODI cricket will be lost from schedule in next two years

Moeen Ali has become the latest England star to hit out at the "unsustainable" schedule and warned that ODI cricket could die "in a couple of years" because it has become the "long, boring" format.

Ben Stokes notably retired from the format last month because the schedule meant he could no longer give "100% of myself in this format anymore". Since then, the likes of Joe Root and Jos Buttler have also been critical of the schedule, with Root saying it has become "very hard" to play all three formats and Buttler saying he hopes Stokes' retirement will be a "wake-up call" to the game's authorities.

Now, Moeen has also criticised the schedule, claiming it will lead to the death of ODI cricket if something does not change. "It's all over the place at the minute," he said.
