Is it cricket world cup? What cricket lovers expect in a huge event like world cup? As cricket fan I expect tough matches like played in world cup 1992. Where 9 test playing countries played a match against each team. This was a beautiful tournament. But after that successful world cup, I don’t know what happened to ICC, who inducted associated teams into a huge event like world cup. This step from ICC really decreased interest of this event in cricket fans. Because cricket is a purely technical game and every one cannot play it. This game requires comprehensive structure at country level. After that it requires experience of playing with master cricketers. But here ICC included those teams to this event who even not played any single international match before playing in world cup. Resultantly one sided matches reduce the interest of cricket fans in this event. Even I personally feel that Triangular events at Sharja and Austral Asia cup at Sharja were more interesting than this world cup event.
If ICC is sincere with the promotion of this game, she should organize tours for these associated teams in ICC future tours programme. This is only way to let them play with experience players. By this way these teams can gain experience day by day. And one day these teams will be able to play in a huge event like world cup. But the existing way of inducting these teams in this huge event is not good for the game and these teams.
ICC should realize technical differences between football and cricket.
