Did you see the new 2020 World T20 Qualification Pathway?Loving the move though. And hopefully having a FIFA-esque global rankings system can reform tournament qualifications somehow -- would be nice to see some real random countries getting a decent run of form on and jamming their way into a World T20 tournament.
We all know this post is really about Vanuatu.Loving the move though.

They'll probably just arbitrarily decide who gets to be in 2021 based on the qualification process for 2020, which means that cricket played in 2018 can determine whether or not you take part in a world event three years later. Classic ICC.So they'll do the same sort of qualification for the 2021 tournament, before the actual 2020 one has been held?
TMI Victor IanFk. All those African nations and no Morocco. If they were in the wife may have allowed me to watch more cricket instead of nagging me to mow the lawn. In fact if they were in she might have qualified for the women's team by way of even being aware of what cricket was.
Is yours also randomly excited about football all of a sudden? Well, for at least the first round.Fk. All those African nations and no Morocco.

Back-to-back World T20s to replace Champions Trophy - ESPNcricinfoI found this to be bigger news.
That's hopelessly dire.
can't wait for a 5-match T20I series between Lesotho and Cook Islands
Let's replace 5 test matches in Ashes by 5 T20s tooBack-to-back World T20s to replace Champions Trophy - ESPNcricinfo
The 2021 WT20I is apparently a replacement for the Champions Trophy. Stupid.
I like it how some test nations actually have to qualify for this ****fest.Did you see the new 2020 World T20 Qualification Pathway?
I'm disgusted Hong Kong has to qualify. We're host to the world's premier T20 competition and we don't get direct entry? It's a ****ing joke.I like it how some test nations actually have to qualify for this ****fest.
**** being elite.
> Posting on Cricket forumNo one gives a f*** about T20I stats. I am pretty sure many people here don't even know about the highest runs scorer in T20I
You have a good point here. I keep getting twenty20 questions in this magazine I read and it is always becomes a case of guessing from the usual suspects, Finch, Gayle, Maxwell, etc. I keep reading about records being smashed in twenty20, ''fastest 50 with fewest balls wearing bling'' blah blah, and they tend to be hyped up as if I am supposed to be impressed, but honestly it goes in one ear and comes out the other.No one gives a f*** about T20I stats.

Surely cricket being in the Olympics would be of greater benefitWell the biggest aspect of this is that all these smaller nations can now show their local governments/potential sponsors that they are a legit International team competing in some worldwide cricket competition. Could be good for growing the sport.
