Ace Sri Lankan off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan feels that one-day cricket (50-50) is in the in danger of being overshadowed by the Twenty20 cricket that is making news at present.

"This is going to be the future of cricket," Muralitharan was quoted as saying to the News.

"I think Test cricket will stay. All players and cricketers love to play Test cricket but one-day cricket will fade a bit," he added.

"I think because of the IPL and Twenty20 more people will watch cricket. It is the 21st century and people do not have the time to watch five-day and one-day matches," Muralitharan, who is signed by Chennai Super Kings in the DLF-Indian Premier League, said.
