In England there is English Premier league, also England is good in summer Olympics and the list goes on. Australia is also not totally dependent on cricket. But if you see India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and SL they are only good and like cricket. If this region in future gets some other sports then survival of icc and cricket will be difficult.
That's why I have always been saying that ICC really needs to increase the number of teams playing cricket regularly otherwise cricket is eventually going to die.
if I am not wrong I think this region generates a lot more revenue than the others in cricket.
It is good that ICC wants this region to thrive in cricket but what happens if they lose interest?
Only the involvement of a lot more teams in cricket can save cricket in the long run.
Mate you are correct but sadly now it's not easy for ICC to increase number of cricket playing nations because it needs some good time and good planning but sadly no one interested in this case, so we have some serious troubles around ICC.
But, good thing is happening just T20 which is comfortable zone for them, and they can do some better with this format if they want to do some good in cricket other formats test and ODI are already out of way because mostly peoples feels these are waste of time, so this format can bring some better in cricket and with this T10 is also another option hopefully they will understand this all and try to manage some better marketing which bring some countries in this format, and we will be able to handle cricket as good sports just not for only gentlemen game because it's already having this for last 100 years without any gentleman.
