A debate has been ongoing for some time, regarding whether ODI format should be continued, as it sometimes loses relevance compared to T20 and Test. But I have another question here. We have separate ICC events for all these formats. For example, for T20 format there is the Men's T20 World Cup, while for test format there is ICC World Test Championship. The ICC has different pathway events (qualifiers) for each of these tournaments. Are these different tournaments necessary? Why can't there by a single qualifier for all the formats?
I don't fully understand your question. How can there be a single qualifier for all these different formats?
Each format is different and even most teams have different captains/players for test matches, T20, and ODIs. In this case, if we have a single qualifier, let's suppose a T20 match qualifier, how will it be justified for the ODI or test match qualifier? A team that may be good in T20 (maybe because of their aggressive approach) may not be that good in the test format
