How many of you think that the ICC should encourage cricket in affiliates and associate countries.Now,I guess the council should find more nations which play cricket.So there will be more countries on the international level with test status.Then like football there will be more competition and more enjoyment.A limited number of countries make the scope of cricket very limited.There are many associates and affiliates who can display a performance better than what India did in England.So how many of you think that it should happen?Please no racism

How Many Of You Think That The Icc Should Encourage World Division Cricket?
Posted on August 25, 2011.
England is a poor team in subcontinent conditions too so they are not genuine no. 1 , put them in 2nd tier
I DO agree. India should be placed in the lowest division.
Many of the associated countries, are poor, and have corrupt governments. Example , is the soccer stadium in Afghanistan, supplied by the Olympic Committee. It was used by the Taliban , to hang people from the goal posts.Who is to say, that money supplied by ICC will actually go to cricket development, and not line some corrupt officials pocket?
@ My Bat. Europe is not interested in cricket, apart from Holland. USA only has expat Indian and Pakistanis. Very tiny sport in the US. Canada has some talent, but a very short playing season.
Korea is soccer and baseball mad.France and Germany soccer mad.
Cricket has been played for over 200 yrs. If other countries were going to join, they would have by now.
Yeah…This is the right way to go…
Ireland should be playing tests against the likes of zim and bangladesh as should holland
Yes I thoroughly agree…as much as possible should be done to encourage the development and progression of the game in the associate/affiliate nations as possible. By getting them to play organized & regular cricket in a structured format this must surely be a good thing. They have already done a fair bit in the last few years and this should continue and be built upon.
I also think ICC do it.
Any objective assessment would question why any team beyond Bangladesh and Zimbabwe deserve test status. As it stands, those two would struggle to compete with those above them and they’d more than likely hammer the associates below them.
Yes, this will promote cricket in the world.
” ICC should encourage world division cricket?”
Yes! I want indias test status revoked.
yes i agree
Yeah I think it’s a good idea. The more countries you get involved the better. Get Ireland, Holland, Kenya, UAE, Namibia etc playing test cricket and split the divisions.
This will be good way to promote cricket.
