Shane Warne also believes all ODI series should be standardised to three-game contests.
In March, after losing the ODI series 3-0 against New Zealand, India captain Virat Kohli had said the 50-over version doesn't hold as much relevance at the moment, stressing on the fact that this is a T20 World Cup year, while the Test championship is also approaching its business end.

"I like the concept (Test Championship) and I wish there was something like this in ODIs too," Warne, the Aussie spin legend, said during an Instagram live session.
"Then ODIs have context leading up to the World Cup. Maybe points or something I don't know. But there are too many meaningless ODIs."
Warne would be happy to know that the ICC is due to finalise the playing conditions for the 13-team ODI Super League, which will work as part of the qualification pathway towards the next ODI World Cup in India in 2023. But the discussions on the tournament may be delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, Warne, the 1999 World Cup winner, thinks all ODI series should be standardised to three-game contests. "I think three matches are just fine in 50-over contests. Five is too much," he said.
The 50-year-old also named his most favourite fielders of the limited-overs game.
"Mark Waugh was the greatest all-round fielder closely followed by Ricky Ponting. In ground fielding, I would say it's between Punter (Ponting) and Jonty (Rhodes). They all were marvellous," he said.
