The current system is convoluted and weird. It doesn't feel like a World cup by having a qualifying stage mid cup and **** and then the Super 10 and stuff.
This format would be too short for a 50 over world cup but suits the short form fine. Every team gets at least 3 games, it's even and fair.
2 top 8 teams spread into each group.
Zim, Bang, Ireland and Afghanistan in each group
Netherlands, Scotland/UAE/Kenya/PNG/Nepal/Hong Kong to make up the numbers.
Gives the minnows a slim chance of qualifying to the final 8, but no matter how you structure one of these it'l always be hard(and rightly so) for them to make the final 8
Seems like the perfect format to try a 16 team tournament since they're keen of cutting the 50 over variant to 10 teams or whatever
