Efforts by ICC

GLOBALISING CRICKET

ICC is doing everything possible to globalise the game of cricket in the European,American and African countries. But the question that comes to mind is that whether  the current playing nations are providing enough to keep cricket interesting? The level of competition between some teams is not even matchable. There are 12 test playing nations two of those got test status in 2018. The other 10 are playing regular test cricket but not able to keep audience interesting; with Zimbabwe in crisis; Sri Lanka unable to find combination after the retirements of stalwarts like sangakara and jayawardne; windies recently beaten England but is also emerging; Australia is not looking that composed either; Pakistan not playing at home are few of the problems that current test playing nations are facing and icc needs to intervene and bail these out so that there should be competition to show to the genuine cricket audience. With the emergence of T20 cricket the commercial market and new crowd has come to the party but they need entertainment for 3 hours that will not help the cause of promoting real cricket that is test cricket that produces legends and are renowned names in the world. To globalise cricket ICC is taking great initiatives but in my opinion instead of promoting cricket in new countries ICC should focus on improving infrastructure and providing opportunities in the already playing countries to make the cricket great again.
