Where do we see the future of Cricket?

3) Same countries playing formats simultaneously:

Way back in 1998, an Indian team without Sachin Tendulkar played the Sahara cup series against Pakistan. The reason? Tendulkar was representing India at the Commonwealth Games in Malaysia. In fact another hero of the preceding series in 1997, Debashish Mohanty, also was part of the Commonwealth Games squad. India went on to lose the series against Pakistan and Tendulkar played only one match, the last of that series. It indeed was an unusual scenario during the time. However, as it was mentioned that Australia played a T20I just a day before a Test match in another country, it would not seem so weird in future. Increasingly boards will look to separate the teams in all three formats and we might see India play an ODI against Australia on the same day that they play a Test match against West Indies. It seems ridiculous but we might be heading towards that fate. This can lead to more specialised players in each format, less injuries and as a result more competitive cricket. In this way cricket can also be marketed much better at non-traditional places. However this could also lead to separate coaches and they all might jostle for a particular played in their team, who might be good at all formats.
