Though this format of the game is highly successful but some of the cricket legends and critics criticize this format of the cricket as it is only of 20 Overs game. It has been argued that since Twenty20 encourages far-from-technical cricket, youngsters wanting to pick up the game will be misguided into believing that cricket is all about trying to hit 6s and 4s no matter how you do it.
Cricketers needs to improve and maintain their fitness to perform well in this format of the game. T20 Cricket is all about speed, agility and reaction time from all players irrespective of role in the team.

Twenty20 Internationals
The first ever T20 Matches were played between Australia and New Zealand On 17 February 2005. This was the first men's full international Twenty20 match, played at Eden Park in Auckland. In the First International T20 Matches Australia defeated New Zealand. The game was played in a light-hearted manner - both sides turned out in kit similar to that worn in the 1980s.
The first Twenty20 international in England was played between England and Australia at the Rose Bowl in Hampshire on the 13 June 2005, which England won by a record margin of 100 runs.
