The number of ODIs teams play now have substantially reduced , to play 200 odis a player must play at least 15 years without missing any.

Pakistan have played 139 Odis in last 10 years. India have played most in last 10 years with 180 matches and only 80 in last 5. Players like Williamson ,root and babar will most likely miss out on scoring 10000 runs.
 
Chances of anyone making 10000 runs in ODIs from now on is very low. 10000 runs were made in ODIs when a bilateral ODI series had 5-7 matches. This is not the case any more because T20 internationals are firmly established. Now they play 5-7 T20 matches and 3 ODIs in an all format series.
 
After the odi wc 23, none of the teams have played odis more than 10 before the ct25.most of the teams started preparation by oct 24.There is a conscious decision to keep few odis during non tournament years and to play them only in wc year.I don't think odis will exist after 31 wc.Once olympics cricket takes off successfully then its all about t20s.A olympic gold for say india will drive sc teams to almost ignore odis . Pcb even had a fight with wi to scrap the odis.
 
In today's era, teams are playing more t20s than ODI and tests. Not sure if any modern batter is gonna reach this milestone in such a limited span.
 
ODIs have become a really boring format and don't think people will lament its loss.

Bilaterals anyway have little meaning anymore and now are played more to fulfil obligations rather than as proper series.

T20Is have a more inclusive world cup which always throws up some great games and almost always has an unpredictable winner given nature of format.

On the other hand ODI world cup has a stale format and over the last 2 world cups you can count on fingers of one hand the games that have entered the last 10 overs with result in the balance
 
Painful to watch my favorite format getting pushed in the back and being neglected

Indeed.

I started to watch cricket in 1997 and ODI was the red hot format at that time. Even bilateral ODI series were entertaining.

I am afraid it is the point of no return. I don't see ODI getting revived, unless T20 is gone (which is unlikely).

I am grateful that I got to enjoy ODI when it was at its peak.
