Cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed concerns that the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup might not capture fan attention due to its scheduling and format. He noted that frequent major tournaments and low-profile early matches, such as India vs. USA or India vs. Namibia, could dilute excitement. Ashwin contrasted this with past World Cups, which occurred every four years, building anticipation and featuring more engaging initial matchups. He also voiced worries about the future of ODI cricket beyond 2027.
