I dont know if i like the idea. The lesser teams gain alot of experience playing more matches.

Although there is an opportunity for 2 more teams to play and also gain experience. So there are arguments for and against.

Should be interesting to see what happens.

Disagree with extending the numbers.

A few of these will be embarassingly poor and uncompetitive. Examples lie Namibia at last one, UAE at past ones.

Netherlands and Canada have shown signs of reasonable competitiveness so can be justified but Namibia, UAE, Scotland, USA no way.

The ICC has already ballsed up with the admission of countries to test level. Sri Lanka was ready in mid 70's but had to wait to after 1980.

Zimbabwe was held back to 1992 when shown competitive in 83 W.Cup. On other hand they've jumped the gun with Bangladesh and have egg on their faces whereas Kenya at ODI level have far superior form on the board.
he's an animal, what can u expect!!!
