He's 34 now, probably past his peak.

He may want to retire from one format to prolong his career in other(s).

Warner and Stoinis will probably move on, possibly Hazlewood as well.

The situation may be complicated by the issue of central contracts. The ECB, for instance, recently issued contracts involving up to three years. There will be a temptation for multi-format players thinking of announcing retirement from one or more formats to temper their spirit of self-sacrifice.

4 years down is a long time
time for next gen

4 years is a long time. But in two years, two years will still be a long time for next gen.

Of course, some players may prefer to concentrate on franchise cricket, but the number of such roving troubadours is necessarily limited. Being a current international carries a significant cachet.

I'm not convinced by multi-year deals, something only the big 3 could afford to do and get away with if it doesn't work out.

I think Kohli will play again next wc.

In reply to KTom

Wishful thinking, Warner's best days are behind him and he's won everything there is to win. Time to step aside.

Marsh and Head can open the batting, Ben McDermott can come in as an opener or keeper/batsman, Aaron Hardie and Cameron Green for all-rounder roles and Spencer Johnson, Jhye Richardson, Sean Abbott, Joel Paris as pacers.

BCCICC will retire all cricket except FIPL so that they could call themselves winners.

The 2027 World Cup will be big, bigger and biggest:


At least the 50-over World Cup will revert to 14 teams in 2027, even if the lesson on the absence of jeopardy has not been learned. There will be two group stages and an increase in the number of matches from 48 to 54, but still only three knockout matches, from the last four onwards. My kingdom for some quarter-finals.

A wider concern is that success in the World Cup has become the preserve of a handful of teams. The first six editions, between 1975 and 1996, yielded five different winners, but in the seven tournaments since then only three countries - Australia, India and England - have lifted the trophy. In the past three competitions, just five nations - those three recent winners, plus New Zealand and South Africa - have made it to the semi-finals.

The 2003 World Cup was the biggest yet, also scheduled for 54 games, but two matches weren't played, as England forfeited against Zimbabwe, and the Kiwis against Kenya.

For years, people were complaining about the number of ODIs, bloated bilateral series of five, even seven games. Now, they're complaining about a dearth. Seems to be either feast or famine.
