the triangular format was abandoned in 2006, when england reverted to playing separate series against each visiting team (as they had in the texaco trophy from 1984 until 1998), but the name natwest series was retained. this was attributed to the poor crowds at matches not involving the home team. the natwest series includes one or two matches in the twenty20 cricket format against the touring team. the home team now plays 10 one day internationals a season.
