Maybe they have the potential to upset the best of teams if given a chance.

yes absolutely they should be given more opportunities, since it will help them to improve further.

I think they were given a chance for being allowed to take part in the world in the first place. What further chance are you referring to, if I may ask?
I think the Cricket governing body should lighten the rules regarding qualification for the world cup, so as to accommodate and encourage more countries to take part. I don't think 16 countries in a world cup is a fair representation of how much cricket is liked in the world. May be 24 teams or even 32 for that matter would not hurt anybody. I understand that that would mean more games to be played and I am not suggesting they emulate the soccer world cup.

Yes, I feel once these teams are qualified for world cup, they should be given chance to tour test playing countries. Each qualified team should tour two test playing teams for at least three Oneidas with each team, so that they have confidence when playing big teams in world cup. Also we can expect more upsets by these so called minnows, & that can add more thrill to this great event. We can also know the potential of these teams. Well there are disadvantages of this, but to take this game to different parts of the world this can be the stepping stone.

Ofcourse,they should be.If these teams don't play cricket,then the world cup would more or less be like a champions trophy with no upsets in sight. These teams have shown earlier that they have got what it actually takes to play International cricket and it would be a futile idea not to give them more opportunities.

Yes, they should be given more opportunities to play against strong teams, so that they will get better exposure, which will help their team to improve their performance

Yes. They should be allowed to compete in county, against leading state teams of test playing countries, so that they get more exposed to international cricket.

well instead of selecting so many ICC associate teams the two best ones should be given a chance rather than so many.
