vIndianz.com (Sept. 11, 2009) — The International Cricket Council (ICC) has agreed the proposal of Indian great Sachin Tendulkar to split one-day matches into two innings of 25 overs for each team in order to increase the popularity of the 50 overs game.
Sachin Tendulkar said that 50-overs cricket is becoming too formulaic because results of “close to 75% of matches” could be predicted after the toss.
His suggestion to split 50-over matches into two innings will provide similar overhead conditions for both teams. And these matches would reduce the influence of winning the toss in favourable conditions.
ICC cricket manager Dave Richardson said a trial could be introduced soon and the ICC committee is set to meet again in 2010 when the results of the experiment will be discussed.
