Cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to rethink its international calendar, suggesting that the current frequency of global tournaments is excessive and driven by revenue. He proposed that ODI cricket is becoming 'redundant' and suggested the ICC adopt a FIFA-like model, holding major tournaments like the World Cup only once every four years to maintain their significance. Ashwin cited the packed schedule with multiple World Cups and bilateral series as an 'overkill' that could lead to the format's decline.
