Now the stages are set for both the Cups.

ICC has put relevance to the 2015 WC and WCL by stating that associates will have a chance to play in the World Cup. Also the 20-20 World Cup is extended to 16 teams so the teams are raring to go for most interesting format. This gives teams a chance to participate in 3 tournaments in 4 years.

For 2019 world cup I hope that it is again changed back to 14 teams and in those 8 years team would have enough standards to make it competitive.

For 2012 I hope:- Afghanistan, Ireland, Kenya, PNG, Nepal and Netherlands qualify 8-)
