Swann wants one-day format scrapped

England spinner Graeme Swann would like to see one-day international cricket scrapped - but admits he does not expect his "purely personal choice" to find much support.

Swann was top of the one-day bowling rankings as recently as October before slipping to third, and has taken 90 wickets in 64 one-day internationals at an average of 25.43.

However, he took just two wickets during England's recent 5-0 hammering in India and was left out for the game in Mumbai, and told the BBC: "I think one-day cricket will have to give at some point, hopefully for everyone."

He added: "I don't think that game should carry on for much longer.

"For me it's not as enjoyable to play in. I think Test cricket and Twenty20 are the way forward for cricket.

"We do play too much cricket and if something had to give my choice would be 50-over cricket, or make it 40-over cricket or something.

"But that's a purely personal choice. I don't think many people agree with me.

"I think I will finish [playing] before any changes take place so I will carry on playing whatever they put in front of me."
