The International Cricket Council (ICC) is to set to expand the scope of the men's 50-Over World Cup from the next cycle. There has been a debate over whether to expand the size to 16 teams but, in all likelihood, the ICC directors will settle for a 14-team format, played thrice before - in 2003, 2011 and 2015.
The current format of 10 teams that has attracted widespread criticism, largely from the Associate members who have been deprived of taking part in the pinnacle championship, will be done away with. The inference is that the arrangement - aimed largely to ensure more India games so that the broadcaster can leverage on that financially -- is so lopsided that even a couple of full members - Ireland and Zimbabwe - failed to compete in the championship in 2019.
For the last couple of months, the ICC members have been deliberating on the size of the World Cup periodically through virtual conferences, and a couple of members of the world body have confirmed to Cricbuzz that consensus is fast emerging on the 14-team format for the ODI World Cup in next eight-year cycle, from 2023 to 31. There was certainly a demand to have 16 teams too, like in 2007, but the idea does not have the approval of the majority.
The need to finalise the shape of the global events in the cycle is exigent given that the ICC will have to go to the market to conclude the media rights partners and sponsors. The general impression is that the ICC is already behind schedule in finalizing the next cycle, the global pandemic being the chief culprit. It now wants have the eight-year blue print ready by this year end. The media rights are expected to be sold by 2022.

Icc considering that 20 teams t 20 world cup. These r some of the respites for corrupt and non functional Zim cricket management. Tough for Zim to qualify in 14 teams odi world cup but some how they can sneak into 20 teams t 20 world cup for atleast 2 world cups.
Which countries other than the USA have adopted 'migration theory' for cricket purposes other than the USA ffs? News flash; some countries have diverse populations!!!
I honestly don't see why you two negative nellies are on this forum; it seems like you absolutely hate Zimbabwe and really really really want us to not qualify for everything. You are living in fantasy land if you think Zimbabwe aren't in the top 20 countries hahaha. As you well know we should have qualified for the last 10 team world cup and missed out by the very narrowest of margins so to sit here and say we have 'no chance' at all of qualifying for a 14-team or 20-team is f***ing rubbish frankly. You are just trolling.
Well, We did'nt expected 20th ranked Singapore IT Workers side to defeat quite strong Zimbabwe in a tri nation T20I in 2019

USA, GERMANY, OMAN, UAE, CANADA
I already gave you the USA. So...
Canada? They haven't flown in anyone. All their foreign-born national team players moved to Canada years ago for work or education. Not cricket. Cricket was a bonus. They haven't adopted, in your words, 'migration theory' - whatever the f**k that is anyway. 6% of the Canadian population is Indian btw. That's 60 times bigger than the white population in Zim lol.
Oman? 50% of the population is South Asian. So whats your problem?
UAE? 88% of the population is foreign-born. The cricket team seems pretty representative to me.
Germany? They have a growing Afghan & Pakistani population. Have you ever been to Europe? Most of the continent does. Are you saying they aren't allowed to play cricket? Only white Germans should play cricket? Should we ban anyone with a foreign sounding name from playing for them? The cricket board haven't 'adopted a migration theory' ffs. None of them have moved there with cricket as the number 1 goal. Obviously.
You know even less about cricket - and the modern world - than I thought you did.
It's funny how our racist South Asian friends on here and social media swoon over average white cricketing Zimbos like they are f***ing untouchable perfect Gods, but as soon as any other ethnic minority in smaller countries dare to play cricket the same misinformed racist armchair critics deride them as pariahs.

South Asians are racist.? :D Its was the south asians who never tolerated racism, and participated actively in the campaign in baning racism in Africa.
Indians, Pakis, Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis flying to these nations after getting good offers aren't a migration theory.? Migration theory is racial :D ? ECB are taking full advantage of that racial migration theory. Well i once found whites termed as antipatriotic for quiting Zimbabwe and playing in other nations on the likes of Sean Ervine, Murray Goodwin etc, but after few years i found the blacks are doing the same.....so there has been kicking of patriotism, which proved talent & money is more then patriotism, failure of Mugabe's black empowerment policy that targetted improvement for Zimbabwe
Well i find once a Proteas "next big thing" captaining Canada.

What the hell are you even talking about now? One of the most incomprehensible posts I've ever seen. 😂 I genuinely have no idea what your point is now.
As far as I know, your point was that associate cricket boards are promoting 'migration theory'. Other than the USA, you've failed to name a single one. :W:

Shown you check it. If Zim is superior then associates and question mark on their non qualification for next world cup editions looks funny then how could they loss series in Netherland, and get defeated by IT workers of Singapore :D
Well its Zim only, who played a huge role in turning Afghans from associate to full member

I need to side with the south Asian racist friends here.
Honestly, white Zimbos ARE the closest to a cricketing God community there is.
This is one of the reasons I and many others are so intrigued by Zimbabwe cricket history.
The white population is 19k.
19k.
20 years ago it was double, sure.
But this is the equivalent of an out of the way regional town in Australia. Half of Castleford in the Uk.
Yet look at how so many white Zimbabweans have dominated cricket worldwide.
They have an amazing ability to punch above their weight.
How many times did 40k white Zimbabwe beat 1 billion plus India or 65mil England?
White people in Zimbabwe have so much to be proud of. It’s actually unreal and inspiring.
And yes, south Asians in cricketing terms, have been very damanging to minor countries. I’ve seen it first hand how they have taken over small leagues. Always segregate themselves into Bangla/India/ Pakistan ethnic teams and downright abuse and undermine development efforts to get the locals involved.
I had a great chat to a development officer from a emerging cricket country and he said he was threatened when he said ‘development doesn’t mean indian students’ and he was told ‘you develop the south Asians now’ or something.
No care on seeing the locals adopt the sport. You’ll never see evidence of it anywhere in the cricketing world where south Asians are in Europe and they have tried to spread the game to the natives. You’ll just see team names like ‘bengal tigers 11’ and ‘Urdu warrior cats’ and s**t like that.

Oh I’m not disagreeing with any of this at all buddy! :))
Just I see very often on social media Indians/Paks hating on associates for having brown people in their teams when oftentimes the proportion of the population that ethnicity makes up in that country is quite significant, and a lot of the time those players have been born there or at least learnt their cricket there.
Also they were making the point that cricket boards were importing players or something and that’s categorically not the case. Pretty much only the USA who’s actually paying and organising players to come and play for them.

It's fine for Germany's 🏏 team to be mostly Asian. It would also be nice for them to reach out to some Wolfgangs and Reinhardts.

Oh 100% agree! I think my point got lost earlier and I didn't explain what I was trying to say properly.
Someone earlier in the thread literally said 'Whites have a right to run all cricket in Zimbabwe'. I was pointing out that it's very double standards when the same posters say associates having brown people or 'non native' people in their team is somehow terrible.
At least be consistent!

So that's the end of the super league I guess? I'm also not a fan of the test championship remaining the same. There is no way you can know how strong Afghanistan will be in 5 or 6 years. One of the other top teams can also get much weaker. Splitting the test teams into 2 groups of 6 with relegation and promotion makes more sense to me.the big teams mainly play each other anyway.
