    Do you think Bangladesh should play Tests??

    IMO ICC should remove the Test Status with being a full member of ICC. Also the teams should not be forced to play Test Cricket against all full members. If Aus wants to play test only with England, India, South Africa, SL, WI, NZ then be it that way, but as a compromise to it it will have to...

    American Cricket

    I left the thread when it had 200 comments at around 1.00 AM (India). I got up at 7.00 AM and it was 700+. It is amazing. Even Dreamcricket has also covered it. Tells you what type of jokers run the organization

    2019 & 2023 WC are again 10 Nations and World T20 back to 16 Nations

    The 10 Team World isn't making it any shorter. The 2011 & 2015 WC had 49 Matches and 2019 & 2023 will have 48 Matches. I guess that 1 match will not help them save 1 week :D. The tournament still will go on on 1 & a half month

    2019 & 2023 WC are again 10 Nations and World T20 back to 16 Nations

    As per the ICC meeting in Dubai, the 2019 and 2023 World Cup will be a 10 Nations tournament. However the 10 Full Members do not get an Automatic Entry as was the plan made for 2015 WC. The top 8 teams as per the ICC ranking get an direct entry, and the rest 2 teams will come through the...

    ICC Announces fixtures for 2012 World Twenty20 Qualifier

    When the process of 2012 World Twenty20 qualification was started at that time it was supposed to be 6 Associates / Affiliates for the World Twenty20, but ICC due to their ego hurt of reverting to 14 nation WC from 10 nation WC cut the World Twenty20 to 12 from 16 nations. Now after 12...

    Do Bangladesh deserve Test Status

    You are talking about PPP (Purchase Power Parity). For South Asia (Ind, Pak, SL, BD) it is 4 times the $ value. Hence it would become 480 or max 500$. In UK it still would not be enuf :p

    Do Bangladesh deserve Test Status

    Great to hear that you have been watching test since 80's :) "Respect". I will put my point this way, yes 2 good teams added. Let us have the potential teams in a second Tier. The top one get a chance to move up. In meantime keep giving them exposure of FC against A teams of Tier 1 teams. Even...

    Do Bangladesh deserve Test Status

    That is there if the world was ideal :) but sadly it is not so. The solution is simple. Under present system, funding based on merit. You play good you get a chance to move up and play badly u get relegated. In lower tiers less funding, higher tiers higher funding. That will push all:- The...

    Do Bangladesh deserve Test Status

    With 3 wins out of 72 Test (1 against Zimbos and 2 against Windies B Team) and 62 losses I can't see ICC wasting more money. If anyone was a business he would have lost patience in 3 years and here it is 10 years. I rather put the money on more Athletic Afghans who have such an awesome pace...

    Do Bangladesh deserve Test Status

    If funds are limited then distribute them in a limited way. No sense in spending just on Bangladesh just because they are a important vote. Kindly see the posts above. Nobody is saying that give Ireland a test status, rather it is about Bangladesh getting to a place where they deserve. Check...

    Do Bangladesh deserve Test Status

    Test status comes with a complete package:- Part of FTP, 15 times the funding, direct qualification into ICC Tournament, Vote in the executive committee. Well even if cricket is popular they are not performing and it is not like they did not get chances. And for teams which are showing the...

    Do Bangladesh deserve Test Status

    Most people point out that taking Test Status away would not do any good. Well keep the test status with them, but if you are giving the test status and them and also massive funding then give the same to share to Kenya, Afghanistan, Ireland or Scotland. That is the thing that is so pathetic...

    Do Bangladesh deserve Test Status

    Bangladesh & Zimbabwe having Test Status and Ireland not having is highly fair for following reason 1. Bangladesh and Zimbabwe get share to 7.5% of ICC Earning each year which is roughly 7.5 M$ a year while teams like Afghans and Ireland just get meager 0.6 M$ a year. Due to this fact...
