You never if Bhutan come with a strong comebackLol. My vote for Bhutan badly misplaced.
Should have done the research. Well played Vanuatu, Kuwait should be better though.
Bhutan are even lucky to be playing in this tournament. The better teams are Saudi Arabia/ Qatar. Again sense less qualification choice.Lol. My vote for Bhutan badly misplaced.

Hey Laksh but one thing good about Bhutan is like Vanuatu, Nepal & Bermuda is they have all local talent. They do not import talent from outside. The same case is also there for Suriname & Bahamas. Rest all Kuwait, Gibraltar, Germany, Zambia have got players who are born outside the nation.Bhutan are even lucky to be playing in this tournament. The better teams are Saudi Arabia/ Qatar. Again sense less qualification choice.
I think Kuwait should win this tournament quite easily cause of home adv but their closest competition should be from the team I support Vanuatu.
Vanuatu has got talent, all local born players, young (most of them are below 25). Above all the nation is Cricket Crazy. Its so nice to see a sponsor (Degi Cell) for Div 8 team.
I really wish to see both Vanuatu & Kuwait qualify, which they should without too much hard work. Predicting Bahamas to come 3rd n remain in Div 8 tournament.
Agreed but Bhutan are not even close to Qatar n Saudi to accept in that terms too...Hey Laksh but one thing good about Bhutan is like Vanuatu, Nepal & Bermuda is they have all local talent.

Yes as a team they are quite weak. Saudi Arabia defeated UAE in an ACC tournament, while Bhutan faced their Nadir against UAE. But Saudi Arabia and Qatar did not participate in ACC trophy. There was one spot for Asia and Bhutan it off.Agreed but Bhutan are not even close to Qatar n Saudi to accept in that terms too...
They did partispate. This is how Bhutan got selected:Yes as a team they are quite weak. Saudi Arabia defeated UAE in an ACC tournament, while Bhutan faced their Nadir against UAE. But Saudi Arabia and Qatar did not participate in ACC trophy. There was one spot for Asia and Bhutan it off.
Laksh I back your proposal. If u have to be competitive u need to have such a structure in Asia also. Europe already has itThey did partispate. This is how Bhutan got selected:
ACC Elite relegates the bottom 2 teams wen the top 2 from ACC challenge get promoted.
So bottom 2 teams from ACC Elite 2008 were: Saudi & Qatar, And the top 2 from ACC challange 2009 were: Oman & Bhutan. So by the point Bhutan were selected Saudi & Qatar were ranked above them. But wat ICC saw was which team in the Elite trophy were not playing in the global divs, so there comes pops up the name of Bhutan who could have easily been thrashed if there was a playoff between Bhutan, Qatar & Saudi.
To make it more clear: Ranking at that point was:
1) Hong Kong
2) UAE
3) Afghanistan
4) Nepal
5) Singapore
6) Malaysia
7) Bahrain
8) Kuwait
9) Qatar
10) Saudi Arabia
Challenge Trophy 2009:
11) Oman
12) Bhutan
13) Maldives
14) Thailand
15) Iran
16) Brunei
17) China
18) Mynamar
So, the place actually belongs to QATAR.
To avoid these confusions I prefer this format. Which is more fiercely competitive:
Asia Cup:
1) India
2) Sri Lanka
3) Pakistan
4) Bangladesh
5) Winner Div 1
6) Runner Up Div 1
ACC Div 1:
1) Afghanistan
2) UAE
3) Hong Kong
4) Oman
5) Winner Div 2
6) Runner Up Div 2
ACC Div 2:
1) Nepal
2) Singapore
3) Malaysia
4) Bahrain
5) Winner Div 3
6) Runner Up Div 3
ACC Div 3:
1) Kuwait
2) Qatar
3) Saudi Arabia
4) Bhutan
5) Winner Div 4
6) Runner Up Div 4
ACC Div 4:
1) Maldives
2) Thailand
3) Iran
4) Brunei
5) China
6) Mynamar
