India-Australia could be one of last five-match ODI series, says CA boss

Cricket Australia has worked to maintain the charm of ODI and proposed 13-team ODI league. According to this proposal, teams will play six home and six away ODI games. Even after the start of the proposal, other cricket boards are free to organise their own bilateral series. Cricket Australia felt that the proposed league will give equal chance to the cricketing nations to play the same amount of ODI matches which will help them to prepare for the World Cup.

"The contemplation around one-day cricket in the future is that each country hosts six one-day matches and plays six away matches as part of that league, so that's likely going to be the limits of it."

"If you think about the current series, we have just completed in Bangladesh, that had real context for the two countries involved but that context would be even more significant and highly elevated if there were points at stake as part of a Test championship," he said.

"What amplifies through that is third-party interest, so other countries, by extension, would have an interest in that series because it had a bearing on where others fitted on the ladder.
