New Zealand all-rounder James Neesham, who is playing for Dubai Capitals in the International League T20 (ILT20), has said that in the coming days, the ODI format will lag far behind the other two formats.
What will be the future of cricket for fast bowlers? Answering this question, James Neesham said, “Cricket is changing rapidly. Now fast bowlers will have to decide in advance which format they want to play. They will have to prepare accordingly. I do not think that fast bowlers can play all three formats.”
On the future of all three formats of cricket, Neesham said, “I think ODI cricket is the format that will be left behind, Test cricket will be the most valuable format of the game, and T20 will be the highest-grossing format.”
James Neesham is among those New Zealand players who are in demand in cricket leagues around the world including IPL. Neesham is considered an important player in the T20 format due to his stormy batting and excellent bowling.
Neesham, who plays all three formats for New Zealand, has not played Test cricket since 2017. Although he has not officially said goodbye to Test cricket. He is continuously seen in ODI and T20 formats. In his injury-hit career, Neesham has scored 709 runs with the help of 2 centuries and 4 half-centuries and taken 14 wickets in 12 Tests for New Zealand. He has 1,495 runs and 71 wickets with the help of 7 half-centuries in 76 ODIs and 1,010 runs and 56 wickets in 71 innings of 93 T20s. In 14 matches of IPL, Neesham has scored 92 runs in 10 innings and taken 8 wickets.
