3 min readMar 10, 2026 03:22 PM IST As Bangladesh gear up for the three-match ODI series against Pakistan, head coach Phil Simmons’ focus is on improving the team’s overall standard in limited-overs cricket, rather than worrying too much about direct qualification for the forthcoming ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027. “The ultimate aim is to improve our standard in ODI cricket rather than getting too caught up in qualification mathematics,” Simmons was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz. Bangladesh have lost four of their last five ODI series and will take on Pakistan in the first of three ODIs in Dhaka on Wednesday. “The team may not currently have the same level of experience that was present when Bangladesh once reached the top of the ODI rankings, but our focus is on ensuring that the present group plays to the best of its ability,” Simmons told reporters ahead of their series opener at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Monday. “The work we are doing now is aimed at helping the team climb up the …

3 min readUpdated: Mar 10, 2026 12:13 AM IST Following the conclusion of the T20 World Cup 2026, former England skipper Michael Atherton opened up on his conflicting views about the frequency of ICC events, questioning whether the world really needs a World Cup almost every year. Atherton acknowledged the strong case for these tournaments, particularly for associate nations, for whom these events serve as the primary platform to showcase their talent and growth on the cricketing circuit. “It’s why I’m a bit conflicted about the number of World Cups that we have. In a way, you think there’s going to be the law of diminishing returns. If you have a World Cup virtually every year, well, there’s essentially three World Cups every four years with the biennial T20 World Cup and then the quadrennial 50-over World Cup… that makes three out of every four years.” “So you think gradually, you know, that there’ll be a law of diminishing returns. But equally, you know, people will say, who are supporters of the associate nations, that …
