Cricket is one of the world's major sports with a huge fan base. However i must question the direction of this game, its always been a sport of "Country Club Status". Only the elite nations play on yearly basis against each other.
1) South Africa
2) Bangladesh
3) England
4) India
5) Australia
6) West Indies
7) New Zealand
8) Sri Lanka
9) Pakistan
10) Zimbabwe
10 teams in "World Cricket" is insufficient for a game to grow globably in terms of advertising revenue and overall interest in the sport. Other nations play at an associate level (Bermuda, Netherlands, Canada, Scotland, Kenya and Ireland being at the top of that crop). But is that enough? Plenty other nations such as Italy, Uganda, Namibia, UAE and many others are training players and traveling the world for competition, but what young sprotsmen wants to play a sport where he may never face the best in the world such as the case is in cricket? Should more teams be granted top status to compete with the "Big 10"?
