[edit] One Confusion

Why is it written that ODI is being played between two teams 'each' having one day status where sometimes it was played with a team that don't have one.For example teams like Canada,UAE had played ODI games without getting status.Even Bangladesh also played ODI first in 1986 and got ODI status much later.So it could be that at least one team has to have the status and the other team may not but surely it is not like Test matchs.Isn't it?Tarif Ezaz Bangladesh 06:40, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

It's not that either. Bangladesh' first ODI was in 1986, but that was part of the Asia Cup tournament: when a near full Sri Lankan side, with ODI status, played Zimbabwe on tour in 1982/83, the match was not ODI.

Basically, teams appear to have been granted "temporary" ODI status for World Cup, Champions Trophy or Asia Cup, but not four tour matches. The reasonably simple explanation given here is sufficient for this article, since it's about the players who have turned up in ODIs and not about ODIs themselves, but it's a fair question for the One-day International article itself.
