And how/why would a World Cup be hosted every 2 years like these t20s?. It makes the tournament feel less special. It’s like a summer olympics happening every 2 years instead of 4, or a fifa World Cup. It makes it seem less prestigious or special

True cricket enthusiasts often prefer Test matches or 50-over games because these formats thoroughly examine the skills, temperament, and endurance of both batters and bowlers. However, with declining spectator attention spans, the 50-over format is gradually losing its prominence, while Test cricket largely remains relevant due to the financial and competitive strength of the traditional “Big Three” — Australia, England, and India.

At the same time, the ICC relies on regular global tournaments to sustain revenue. With T20 leagues flourishing worldwide, staging an expanded T20 World Cup every two years helps maintain global interest and commercial momentum. It also allows the ICC to demonstrate broader international participation to the IOC, strengthening cricket’s case for Olympic inclusion.

Furthermore, T20 cricket is inherently more unpredictable, making upsets far more likely and adding to its appeal among fans worldwide.
