We’re back with Part 2 of our huge conversation with Lalit Modi on Beyond23.
In the second half of our wide-ranging chat, we turn our attention to cricket’s place on the Olympic stage and what the Games could mean for the sport’s global future. With T20 set to play an increasingly important role in growing cricket around the world, we discuss the opportunities, and challenges, that come with cricket becoming an Olympic sport.
We also dive deeper into the decline of ODI cricket. Has the 50-over format lost its place in the modern game, or is there still a way to bring it back to life? Modi shares his thoughts on what needs to change and whether one-day cricket can find a new identity in an increasingly T20-dominated world.
And then, we have some fun.To wrap things up, Lalit Modi takes on our rapid-fire round, answering a series of quick questions on cricket, players, memories, opinions and everything in between.
