West Indies vs ICC World XI: 5 reasons why such matches should happen more often

#4 A breath of fresh air

Just ICC tournaments cannot keep cricket afloat for long

One of the major criticisms that international cricket has faced through the years is that it gets mundane, repetitive, and redundant over time. The audience tends to lose interest following one bilateral series after the other, while waiting for the next ICC tournament to come into the fold.

ICC World XI games give these cricket fans something different to look forward to, thus adding a new sense of excitement and anticipation to following the game. It is very important for cricket to evolve with time, so as to retain and magnify its popularity through the next few decades.

This is an easy option to sprinkle innovation on the regular cricketing calendar, as it will not only give the viewers something different to cherish from time to time but, if sustained over long periods, will add a new dimension to the game.
