In the age of T20 cricket, there is no denying the fact that the 50-overs version has lost some of its excitement. The middle overs (15-40) can be a bit dull and the modern-day generation wants to have entertainment. The bilateral series can be boring at times with the home side generally dominating the tourists.

It is well known that the big lessons are learned during the matches and not in the practice sessions. Subsequently, teams like Afghanistan will get more exposure to playing big matches against quality sides. Therefore, they get better, which would once again help in making the sport global.

In fact, it should be noted that it would be a bad idea to straight away get a lot of multi-team tournaments. However, there is no doubt that it won't be a bad idea to get back a competition like the Champions Trophy back in the fold.
