Tests and Twenty20s are the future of international cricket and 50-overs matches should be scrapped,according to England spinner Graeme Swann.
I think one-day cricket will have to give at some point,he told the BBC. I don8217;t think that game should carry on for much longer. For me it8217;s not as enjoyable to play in.
I think test cricket and Twenty20s are the way forward.
However,the 32-year-old acknowledged he was in the minority with his opinion.
I don8217;t think many people agree with me,he added. I think I will finish playing before any changes take place so I will carry on playing whatever they put in front of me.
We do play too much cricket,added Swann,who is third in the one-day bowling rankings and fourth in the test equivalent.
Swann,who has captained England8217;s Twenty20 team,also said the International Cricket Council8217;s decision to cancel the 2013 world test championship in favour of the Champions Trophy one-day event was a bit disturbing and short-sighted.
This is frustrating because being English we rate test cricket above and beyond anything else,and certainly the Champions Trophy,he said.
