BLUNDER! ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 is now TEN-NATION CRICKET CUP

Ireland not in next Cricket World Cup!

Despite pulling up great performances and winning matches in the international arena, minnows Ireland is snubbed by the great Cricket council ICC! Ireland has proved that they are not the ordinary minnow team when minnows are considered but they do have the potential to beat a full nation member team on their day. And that too consistently. But now ICC has decided that the next world cup in 2015 should only be the top ten full nation member countries irrespective of their wins or losses when compared to minnows.

ICC Decision for 10 Nation Cricket Cup not helping Minnows
This decision does no good to upcoming minnows like Ireland and Netherlands because they will not get the opportunity to play against top nations and will also lose the experience of playing in big tournaments. What Ireland and Netherlands need now is experience! They have to be included in tri nation tournaments so they can develop their cricketing skills. After all wasn't India and Sri Lanka also considered as minnows at one stage? South Africa and New Zealand didn't reach cloud 9 in a single day either! This only demotivates countries who would like to enter and perform in the Cricket sport. ICC must change their decision in order to get the support of all Cricket fans and take steps to ensure regular tournaments with minnows are organised.

ICC 2015 Cricket World Cup only profiting ICC

However ICC has proved that this decision only profits them as they get more sponsors to pay hefty sums only for matches with full nation countries. Well the ICC has now announced a meeting to take place in June 2011 where they may reconsider or put in new conditions for Ireland to meet if they want to play the next world cup. Anyway, the world now asks: "Is this an ICC World Cup 2015 or Ten Nation Cricket Cup?"

IRELAND CELEBRATES CRICKET!!! TEST STATUS FOR IRELAND! Will ICC approve? GO Green!

Ever since Ireland started out in International Cricket, they have been winning constantly and that too by upsetting few of the top teams in the world. The 3rd of March 2011 was no exception either. The Men in Green has stunned the England Team which further shows that Associates should be included in future World Cups as well. It not only gives them the experience to face the world's biggest teams but also the experience of playing in a major tournaments like the World Cup. The ICC should take steps to ensure that countries like Ireland and Netherlands do get the opportunity to participate in tournaments involving the top sides. This will help the Associates to learn how to play competitive Cricket under huge pressure so they will bring out the best in them. So Congratulations Ireland!!!

TEST STATUS FOR IRELAND INCHES CLOSER...WILL ICC APPROVE?

It wont be a surprise if Ireland soon become not only the ODI World Champions but also the Test Champions! But will the ICC approve Test status for Ireland? The way the Irish are playing they definitely will get the Test status. So the question is not 'will' but 'when'! When will ICC approve the Test status? That is what the country is hoping to hear as soon as possible because the young talent in the squad may not have the patience to wait for a long time. They may follow the footsteps of Ed Joyce, Eoin Morgan and many more. But in the meantime, GO Green!
