LAHORE – New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori wants reduction in the number of one-dayers, especially in bilateral series against Pakistan.
His statements came at a time when the ICC was reviewing its Future Tours Program, with plans to conduct a one-day league over four years.
“Why are we playing these extended one-day series?,” Vettori was quoted as saying by New Zealand Herald.
“What’s the point? Hopefully the ICC follows these proposals through because I’d like to have more riding on every game. The number of games needs to be reduced so fans enjoy them more again.”
Despite New Zealand’s forgettable 2010 – the team won only one Test, and suffered one-day whitewashes in Bangladesh and India – and his own age, Vettori was keen on carrying on after the 2011 World Cup, where he is expected to lead the side. “I am keeping my options open [after the World Cup],” Vettori said.
