Cricket Australia (CA) will scrap its triangular one-day international format after almost 30 years and play more Twenty20 internationals, it was revealed Tuesday. CA's schedule for the 2008/09 season involving New Zealand and South Africa shows the organisation attempting to revive interest in its one-day series and moving to meet demand for the ultra-short Twenty20 form. The triangular one-day format introduced by the late media mogul Kerry Packer in 1979/80 helped revolutionise cricket but has been ditched in favour of a model that ensures Australia plays in each match.
