I'll always argue test cricket is more important than any other form but with a World Cup on the subcontinent next year our ODI form must be the priority. Two chances for development have so far been squandered. In the tri-series against Sri Lanka and India, pitch and weather conditions were very unsubcontinent-like and then in Bangladesh... well, let's not go there.
