I have no idea about what this double-wicket is but what I can surely say is that cricket might have lost a lot of its popularity if the T20 format was not introduced to people. People right now like fast-paced cricket and T20 cricket certainly gave them that option. and there was a time when if a team needed 6 runs from 7 or 8 balls it was considered to be good for the bowling side but now the same situation surely favors the batting site even though they have only two wickets in hand.

There is no doubt that future of cricket lies in T20 format. With so many leagues going on around the world, its now impossible to stay away from this format. Test and ODI can be carried out in bilateral series. One thing is very clear that no new country will join test or ODI format since it takes so much time for completion.

I remember there is a double wicket tournament in 90s in Pakistan where every team has only 2 players while fielders are neutral. Fielders are paid dollars for every catch they take. Teams from all countries participate in that double wicket.
I think T20 is good enough and reducing further will only damage the game of cricket.

Can you explain what this double wicket tournament is all about, i was not able to find any article regarding this. I really liked the T20 version, if not i doubt i would be watching Cricket as i considered it as a long format to have the patience to watch the matches earlier but the introduction of T20 and the advent of cryptocurrency based gambling sites helped in learning the game. I am not a fan of T10 because it is hard to predict, even T20 is hard to predict and hence i doubt i will be watching anything that is shorter than T20.

Double wicket was introduced in 90s by PCB. Each team has only 2 players and only they bat and bowl, for fielding each team has 9 players apart from 2 players of team. If a player gets out, minus ten runs were added to score. It was very interesting and no more organized by PCB. You can see these matches on youtube

Yeah... T10 requires only one skill. It will be repetitive and in the long run people will lose interest. There should be an incentive for keeping the wickets. Right now in T10, the teams can afford to lose up to 10 wickets in 60 balls. So they don't try not to get out. If the number of batsmen are reduced to 5 or 6, then they won't be having this freedom and we will see a mix of power hitting and good strategy.

And then regarding the second point, the ICC should get cricket included in the Olympics if they really want to promote the sport. They had an opportunity in 2008, but they wasted it. And even now, I am not witnessing much of an interest from the ICC regarding this topic.

AFAIK, there is only one league in Dubai that has adopted T20 format. Rest I don't think there is popular league that has adopted this format.

ICC is planning to bid for 2028 Los Angeles, 2032 Brisbane Games and beyond. But the main point is still there are 6 to 8 good teams rear are all associate teams. Without raising level of cricket of participating teams it will be a disaster. See the last T20 WC, Games played bw strong and associate teams were of zero interest.

Yes, I think this might be a good idea if the number of batsmen are reduced to 6 and it is only a game of 5 wickets. that will surely have some skill to play. But I don't think cricket needs that right now because as you said T10 might be the format where everyone will just try to hit the ball out of the park and it might become a sport where we will see a lot more bodybuilders instead of cricketers

And ICC really does not seem that interested in promoting cricket otherwise I think it is a big enough sport to be included in the Olympics by now. all we hear about cricket being in the Olympics is just the date being postponed.

Never played T5 in my childhood but I remember a few interesting rules wherein one tip one hand catch was a rule and no sixes but only fours will be counted. Those rules were created as we played street cricket and we never wanted neighbors coming out and banning our cricket match because we shattered their windows. I still miss those days.

I do not think T10 will get as hype as T20 got because T10 is too short as a cricket format. A batsmen's main aim here is to just hit the boundary and there is nothing left for bowlers to prove in this format.

We used to play best of 3 or 5 in evening during our childhood. One rule which I remember if someone hit the ball in Nali ( Street drainage) then batsmen will be responsible for cleaning of the ball. Those were golden days of life when there was zero tension and life was just about having fun.

I'm also not a big fan of T-10 in international arena but at the same time T-10 types of tournaments are ridiculously famous in Gully/local cricket. I'm sure 99% of fans grew up playing such type of 10-12-15 overs matches, i know i did.

So may be T-10 doesn't have any place right now but i do see some space for this format in future.

We even used to play T5 when we were child with some interesting rules like anyone who miss two deliveries will be out. In countries like Pakistan, India and Bangladesh kids used to play such shorter format until they grow up to club level. T10 or less is popular among Gully cricket there are rear chances it will make it to international level.

I don't think the cricket in the world needs T10 right now, even if it is needed you should be way into the future where almost nobody has enough time to watch cricket for even three hours. I really don't think t10 is going to require too much skill as everyone will just go and smash the ball.

right now the T20 format is alright and one-day internationals are a good mix of skill and smashing. but I do think that if ICC wants a lot more teams to play cricket they really need to promote t20.

Actually, people are busy with their work right now and simply don't have enough time to see ODI or test cricket for the full match. so T20 is the best option right now for people that are busy in their life but still want to enjoy good cricket. T20 is also generating the most revenue in cricket and it is also a lot popular. so at this moment, there is no reason to introduce T10 and reduce the popularity of T20. I really think in the future T20 will be the best format of cricket so there is no reason of introducing any shorter format and taking away its popularity and potential.

Agreed - people have so many choices and there is so much everyone is going through that they hardly find time to encourage young players around.
But having said - maybe this kind of tournament would bring forth some young gems. Hope everyone gets their right wishes fulfilled.

Few decades back no one were thinking about T20 but now it's very important format of cricket just because of time hopefully we will have this T10 in our official list after 10 to 15 years because in near future many things going to change, and we will have very short time for watching sports like soccer basketball and hockey, so this will also take his position and more peoples will love this format because most chances ODI will be wiped up, and we will go from five days to just T20 and T10 leagues with one all day is spending for cricket is having some very bad impact on these youths.

And with these two format most chances we will have mega events like World Cup and Champion's Trophy with more than 24 teams because many countries will love to adopt these formats and these also have some good charm for youths.

T10 can be a great thing for cricket but the time is not right for it. if something like this actually is introduced there will be a lot of criticism and it will be bad for T20 cricket which is pulling off a lot more revenue than the other formats in my opinion. so as long as T20 is doing well I don't think there is any reason for T10 to be introduced in the cricketing world.

New countries will join ICC only in T20 format as history shows that world is certainly not interested in odi nor in test.

You got it so right. Its very hard to spare a.complete day for ODI and impossible if you have a job to spare 5 days for test match. Back in 90s life was not that busy so we can spare time for ODI and test back then. T20 held at night are best to watch and enjoy. May be we have T10 taking over T20 in coming days.

Big fan of T20 format here. But still I would say that T10 is not my cup of tea. When you have 11 players in each of the teams, 10 overs is just too little. That is just around 5 balls per player. I just hope that we refrain from further reducing the duration. T20 match lasts for 3 hrs on average, and that is fine with me. Slightly longer when compared to average football match, but it is tolerable. T10 needs a few changes to its format. If we want to make T10 more interesting, then there should be only 6 players per side. You can't have a 10 over match with 11 players on each team.

T20 is just need of hour to keep cricket alive in 21st century, its never a proper cricket format. If you wanna see skills of bowler and batsmen then you need to focus on test. I think current T20 is good enough to keep interest of people in cricket. Also this will be only reason why new teams will join in.

Everyone has the same issue it is not possible in your busy schedule to sit and watch a Test match for a whole day. Still, there are a few who do watch a test match today. Maybe they have an option while working or maybe they are still die-hard fans of this format. I also cannot spare that amount of time for both ODI and Test cricket and therefore I am happy with the highlights. T20 or IPL are mostly played during the hours when I am also back from work hence I can watch those matches live.

Most working-class does the same but the same attitude can be seen with the younger generation.

T20I or league matches are held in afternoon or at night, that's why they widely watched and liked. If we talk about test then I only check score at the end of every day. After introduction of T20, its very hard to watch 100 over game that took your whole day.
