Johnson ponders limited-overs future - chairman - 04-15-2014
Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson has said he might consider quitting one or both limited-overs formats in order to prolong his Test career, with the 2015 Ashes in England in mind. Though Johnson is yet to make up his mind on which format to drop, he hinted at reconsidering his T20 career first, as he has ambitions of spearheading Australia's bowling attack for next year's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
"I think I've got to be a lot smarter now. Twenty20, I will quite happily say, is not my favourite format - I would rather play Test cricket," Johnson told cricket.com.au. "And maybe one-day cricket I have to look at as well.

Well, it wouldn't be terrifically devastating if Mitch decides to quit ODIs. So long as he keep delivering the goods in tests. I guess he should be used wisely either way, can't risk injuring him - he's bowling at fiery pace and great accuracy ATM.

he has openly quoted that T20 isn't his preferred format.Good to see bowlers of this kind uttering such statements.He is probably aiming at the Ashes'15.Personally,i too feel he needs to quit T20's and concentrate on Tests and if possible ODI's too.
