The reasons, as stated by me back then: As its 40 percent of a limited overs match (in terms of overs and time involved), it results in 40 percent of income… This year, Pakistan has continued with the successful experiment domestically. However, PCB Chairman Shahryar Khan has opposed Twenty20 for international cricket.

The BCCI hasn’t cared about domestic cricket over the years. But the BCCI is resisting it internationally as well. You make a fair point regarding giving it time before having a world cup for it, if at all. @ Hiren – Thank you.

If the BCCI cared about domestic cricket reaching a wider audience, they’d certainly consider Twenty20. The one issue I have with a Twenty20 World Cup is that it took Test cricket over forty years to have some sort of a ‘championship’, when England, Australia and South Africa took part in a triangular in 1912. The next time that happened was in 1998/9 in the Asian Championship. One-day cricket took four years to have a World Cup. But Twenty20, after barely a year in existence as an acknowledged international format of the game, seeks to have a World Cup next year. Now I think that is too much too fast.

There is no harm in trying. Who knows how popular it may become. In my view, one day is the best-there should be best of three one days in place of test matches on one-sided pitches. you have a point about different markets which is called positioning in marketing.
