                 Evolution of cricket is quite different from other games. The changes faced by cricket world not only in terms of teams and jerseys, even in terms of game format too. New rules and regulations updated by ICC in regular intervals can able to adopt easily. But if a new format is introduced in cricket definitely some history and records will gets rewritten. Like ODI replaced test cricket. Once cricket is nothing but test matches and audience have to wait for few days to witness the winner. Most of the times those matches ends up in draw. ODI matches with limited overs and powerplays attracted more audience than test matches. It reveals the winner at the end of match. Because of ODI matches, International world cup tournaments happened as like in football.Â
