I think with Cricket its fine. First Cricket needs to attract more nations and existing smaller nations to invest more in Cricket. T20 Cricket is the only viable format for multi-sport events as it can be completed within two weeks and much more chance of underdog beating better teams and results being known till the last ball. Currently, longer format like 50 over and Test are not much engaging because of huge difference in quality between top 4 nations - Australia, England, India and South Africa and the rest. Once there are much more nations and more investment in Cricket, longer formats will be more engaging
