"I think I'd like one-day cricket more if it was 40 overs," Khawaja told ABC Sport. "I played Pro40 in England a few years ago when they were playing 40-over cricket. I really enjoyed it.

"I just think 50 overs is just that little bit too long now. T20 cricket is awesome. Test cricket is the pinnacle. I just feel like one-day cricket, if it could be 40 overs, I reckon that would just take out that little middle bit."

"The same debate keeps coming up every few years," he said on the same programme. "When you're 12 months away from a World Cup, people try and find relevance. But then the World Cup rolls around, and it'll be bigger than Ben Hur again, and then another format will be on the chopping block."

"I like ODI cricket, it is just enough time to do enough," Agar said. "You know, ten overs [per bowler] is a lovely amount of bowling time. Fifty overs is a good time to bat, like it gives the guys lower down the order a bit of time if there's a few wickets that have fallen.

"Yes I think people get frustrated at, maybe it gets a bit too long, but I think that's just because of the advent of T20 cricket. So I like ODI cricket."
