It throws it off if Challenge League B has 5 teams. If you just swap HK out then it's fine, but it's gonna be a massive pain given HK are hosting the first tournament.And that's assuming HK even deserve that 13th slot :ph34r:

Suppose the ICC could move a team up from League 2 into the Super League, but then you still need an extra team from the Playoffs to make up the numbers at WCQ, or bring in an extra team from the Challenge Leagues into the Playoffs
Is there any particular reason we are ignoring Canada would be the next cab off the rank by virtue of finishing 5th - above HK - at WCL2?

They were suspended indefinitely from HK Cricket ages ago, as soon as the ICC announced they were being investigated.

It's a long sad history with these three. Not just the fixing, but various other issues and off-field transgressions. Major wastes of talent. They accomplished so much and could have accomplished even more.

I've actually spoken to Nadeem and have umpired him. Nice guy. Wish things didn't have to end this way.

From the little bits I saw of Irfan he looked a serious cricketer, cut above most at Assosciate level. Shame really.


Few gun cricketers knocking about outside of the mainstream cricketing world. Craig Williams of Namibia springs to mind, bloke is quality

So who's excited about the Romania Cup?

Hope it's better than the Hong Kong Sixes tournament..


Romania opens up against Austria, followed by Turkey against Luxemburg...and to finish off the games tomorrow, Romania versus Turkey

Just read that Hamilton Masakadza is set to retire soon :-(

Apparently he plans to call ity a day after the scheduled T20 tri-series in BD. However, I thought Zim were suspended from all form of international cricket at the moment, which has left me confused.

Can anyone here shed some light on Zimbabwe's current situation?

So Namibia won't be part of that tourney?
Think they are already through to the next stage by virtue of the problems for Zimbabwe. Not sure though

EDIT: Namibia have an ODI tri series in the States at the same time. That explains it then. Love that Namibia have official ODI status again, makes me feel properly nostalgic for 2003

Sikandar Raza has been left out of the Zim squad to tour BD for "disciplinary reasons".

What a joke. Raza happens to be one of the most loyal & crucial members of the team.
