ODI World Cup 2023 is well underway. But the start of this tournament was not good for Australia. The team faced India in its first game of the tournament and suffered a crushing defeat.
Australian captain Pat Cummins came forward to talk about how challenging the ODI format has been for him. The 30-year-old focused only on Test and T20 cricket in the early stages of his career and his role has changed in ODI cricket.
Pat Cummins made his ODI debut in 2011. And in the last few years he has played only 78 matches in this format. According to Pat Cummins, there is a need to work on his tactical approach towards the format.

Pat Cummins: It’s a very physical format
Pat Cummins told that the biggest challenge in this format is how the bowlers have ten overs to bowl. Describing ODI cricket as physically demanding, he said that it is quite difficult but he is enjoying it.
