In recent years, teams are playing fewer ODI matches compared to earlier seasons.
The cricket calendar is packed with Tests, T20Is, and franchise leagues, leaving limited space for ODI series.
T20 cricket attracts bigger crowds, faster viewership, and more revenue, which has pushed ODIs down the priority list.
ODI matches feel most important during World Cups and major ICC events. Outside that, many bilateral series draw less attention.
Teams manage player fitness carefully due to busy schedules, leading to shorter tours and fewer ODI matches.
A tight schedule, rise of T20 leagues, and focus on workload are key reasons why ODI matches are played less now.
