"The ICC put a lot of effort into this tournament," Smith said. "Ultimately it will be the cricket, how it is played, that will define whether this is a success or not. The good point is that it is short, to the point and can capture the imagination of fans around the world. That's the challenge ODIs have, with all the talk about moving domestic formats to 40 overs and all. This is a crucial period for the ODI game and how this competition is a success on the field is more important than anything else."
Recent ICC 50-over events have been heavily criticised, variously for being too lengthy, for having too many weak teams or for their unwieldy formats. This is the first 50-over tournament in over two years and the ICC believes that in the shorter, sharper format - only eight teams, 15 matches and two venues - lies a future path of ODI prosperity.
