“It is moving towards danger….” Andy Flower made a statement against ICC, said cricket will end
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) head coach Andy Flower believes the International Cricket Council (ICC) is taking things for granted by hosting the T20 World Cup every two years. Andy Flowers (Photo by Nathan Stirk/Getty Images) Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) head coach Andy Flower believes that the International Cricket Council (ICC) is stepping towards danger by hosting the T20 World Cup every two years.

According to a survey conducted by the World Cricketers Association (WCA), the number of cricketers who consider the T20 World Cup as the “most important” ICC event has increased from 15 per cent in 2019 to 35 per cent in 2024. In the survey, 30 per cent of the cricketers, who were from Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Bangladesh and West Indies, also chose T20 as the most important format. When Flower was told about the survey, he said he was “astonished”— He told the Times of India, “I am surprised. I think the 50-over World Cup is important because it is played every four years. I think cricket is in danger if we have a T20 World Cup every two years… it will become commonplace. I don’t want anything called a ‘World Cup’ to become commonplace. I like the rarity of the World Cup.” However, Andy Flower definitely admitted that T20 cricket has a big role to play in making cricket famous all over the world. Teams like Afghanistan and USA reaching the semi-finals and Super 8 is a symbol of this. Along with this, many players are emerging from the franchise league tournament started across the country. Along with this, this cricket match is becoming very exciting and tough. It can be said that the level of competition has increased a lot.
