#5 - The number of formats in cricket

The sport of cricket had only three formats - Test, ODI and T20 when Peter Siddle was a regular part of the Australian team in 2010. But now in 2019, when Peter Siddle is making his return to the team, cricket got a new format, known as T10. Both the teams play 10 overs each in a T10 match and it is now the shortest format of the game.
The T10 league played in the UAE gave birth to this format and popular cricketers like Zaheer Khan, Subramanium Badrinath, Mustafizur Rahman, S Afridi, M Nabi, Rashid Khan are a part of this league.
Even, the Champions League T20 which was a regular tournament in 2010, has been scrapped and also, the number of IPL teams changed from 8 to 10 (2011) then 9 (2012-15) and once again came down to 8 in 2016.
A total of five IPL franchises made their IPL debut since Peter Siddle's last ODI and thus, we conclude that the cricket world has changed a lot in the gap between Siddle's 17th and 18th ODI match.
