Only 14 teams make the World Cup tournament, out of more than a hundred in contention. Only 20 teams, however, have ever played in a Cricket World Cup. This means that most of those hundred teams out there in the world are the equivalent of you and your buddies living in, say, Benin, saying "We know a bunch of dudes, let's learn how to play cricket and then see if we get a free trip to the World Cup even though we suck," a.k.a. The Jamaican Bobsled Gambit. Basically, for the most part, no one plays cricket. But the people who do, really, really care.
I assume that was only put in for irony points.
