It is noted by one and all that ever since Twenty-20 International has been introduced, the audiences have lost their interest in the Test and One day cricket! Often the cricket experts have warned that T-20 can kill the real spirit of the game!

And this time it is former Australian cricketer Dean Jones, to have come up with the warning that Twenty20 cricket is like a runaway train, which would crush everything including Test and One-day cricket, if not controlled properly!

Jones said the kind of money which private T20 leagues are offering are too good to resist and the ICC must pay players well, who represent country in Test and ODI format. He cited example of Australia's domestic tournament Sheffield Shield, where players' income has decreased after Big Bash league.

Jones argued that if representing the nation was not rewarding enough financially, the players would automatically be more drawn towards lucrative private leagues.

"T20 cricket cannot be stopped. It is a runaway train prepared to kill everything in its way. I am not joking when I say this. If we don't handle T20 cricket properly, it will crush everything in its way, including the Test and one-day formats," Jones told the sources.

Let’s see if ICC and the board of other countries have a suitable plan to save the original cricket formats!
