We Have To Protect 50-over Cricket At All Costs, Says Tammy Beaumont
ODI World Cup: Amidst the proliferation of franchise T20 leagues in the world, England opener Tammy Beaumont has called for protecting the 50-over format of the game, especially from a women’s cricket perspective. The future of 50-over format has been a subject of huge debate, despite the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup happening successfully in India.
"We see the men's game talking about 50-over cricket: 'is it even worth doing?' Well, if only four nations are playing Test cricket in women's cricket, then we have to protect 50-over cricket at all costs. "I think everyone would love to have loads of Test-playing nations and play big Test series but, at the moment, that's not a reality."
"At the same time, if you're just a Test match player and you play two Tests a year, you're not playing much cricket. Hopefully we can keep and protect all formats of cricket and not just jump on the wave of T20 and leave everything else behind," said Tammy on ESPNCricinfo’s Ladies Who Switch podcast.
