on the broader topic of expats playing International cricket for smaller Associates and whether or not it is good:

There is some good that can come out of this. Performing well and winning international matches opens up sponsorship opportunities, ICC and local government funding, media attention, and attracts more people to take up the sport / to move to the country to pursue it.

It is not a long-term strategy to growing the game, but it does work and that's why so many smaller nations do it.

It is baked into the history of cricket as well - the first Australian team were all English expats, as was the first South African and West Indies teams. It took ages till the 'local' population in most Full-member countries started playing the sport. For a more modern example, the first generation of Afghanistani cricketers were those who learnt the sport as refugees in Pakistan.

Hopefully Cambodian cricket can leverage this success into more support from their government and investment from local sponsors, which they can then put into proper grassroots cricket programs and developing venues across the country.

yeah just at a fundamental level the likeliest “ground zero” for cricket in any given non major cricket country would it seems obviously (and even though i use that word all the time i hate it and really shouldn’t) that it would be expats who can bring a working knowledge of the game, and spread from there to grow it

much likelier than a cool runnings sort of thing happening (not to say that can’t though)

Tbh it's still quite remarkable they're able to build a team out of guys with seemingly no professional cricket background that could repeatedly beat Malaysia. Not that Malaysia are a particularly world class team, but they've got some really experienced heads in there and have been playing together as a unit for quite a while.
