I honestly have no idea what this tournament is all about. Is it just the reserves playing the reserves? Just seems like a real misuse of the word “unofficial”.
The big news this morning is that the ICC is going to revisit the 2015 World Cup format. It really is shocking to me that they are, to at least a slight degree, admitting that maybe they were wrong. I do not think anything will change, but can you imagine FIFA publicly saying that maybe Qatar is not the best choice for 2022? Never. Never ever ever.
As mentioned previously, Cricket is sick, and the last thing the ICC needs after such a successful 2011 World Cup is another two steps backward, which is what they got by eliminating the Associate members from the 2015 competition. Does having Ireland and Holland compete really make it that more interesting of a tournament? No, not really. But in the long haul, I think it is good for the health of the sport.
