ICC Men's T20 World Cup Sub Regional Europe Qualifier Group C is ongoing at Guernsey. A total of 10 teams are taking part, divided into two groups. Two matches have been completed so far, with Spain defeating Cyprus in Group A, and Guernsey edging out Bulgaria in Group B. Davidson Soler scored 51 for Spain, while Daniel Doyle-Calle made a score of 52. And towards the end, there were some big hits from the captain Christian Munoz-Mills. In the second match, Milen Gogev made 27 for Bulgaria, but apart from him none of the other players got a score of more than 20.
Major ICC events are primarily elite teams that are favored by the ICC. England, Australia, India are definitely on top of this list. In particular, ICC prepares the schedule for major tournaments according to how India wants to play and when it wants to play.
That is why we call these three teams (India, Australia and England) the big 3 nations of cricket as they share the strong cricketing traditions, resources, and successes. Rest of the teams do not even come close to them. Sometimes if in an ICC tournament, India has a match with Pakistan, the hype is created by ICC themselves (as they always keep them in same group) but in reality, there is no match between the two teams and hence India always wins those matches.
My only fear is that since these countries has have all the Resources and Infrastructure and Global Influence, a different in performances between the big 3 and other teams will get so big that it will be dull to watch a match outside of big 3.
India vs Pakistan matches are high voltage matches with the highest attendance. We have seen in many World Cups that more tickets are sold when the matches are played between India and Pakistan than when the other teams are playing. The fans want to see the match between these two teams on the field and even to see which team wins with their own eyes, for which they come to the stadium to watch the match between India and Pakistan despite many hardships. We might enjoy a high voltage match between Pakistan and India in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy.

Congratulations to vanuatu for their upcoming matches and for winning this game. Vanuatu played a fantastic match. They will continue to play like this in the future. Vanuatu won the game by 36 runs. The 4th match between Vanuatu and Fiji was held at the country faleata oval stadium. Fiji won the toss and elected to batting first. Andrew Mansale is a very talented player for Vanuatu team member. Vanuatu total runs for 157 and wining the match. Fiji total runs for 121 and lost the match. Fiji played a very bad match and they made their fans very angry. Their team needs hard work now. The best batting performance in the Vanuatu team was by Andrew Mansale scored 82 runs and 50 balls hitting 8 fours and 3 sixs. I hope Fiji they will play better in the future matches. They should work hard for the upcoming matches.
Yesterday one more games was played and this game was 6 th and played between Fiji and COK teams. COK team won the toss and got a chance to take first bat or bowl and COK team chose field first. Fiji team set every competitive target of 173 runs in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Apete made 62 runs in 37 balls and hitted three 4s and five 6s. Peni also played good and made 30 runs hitted one 4s and three 6s. These batsman of Fiji team helped a lot to win this game and their effort was really very good proved in this game. This was the big won of Fiji team because COK team only chased down 69 runs and lost this game with big margin of runs total 104 runs. Peni bowler took down 3 wickets in 4 overs with 11 runs. Apete got a player of games award because of his brilliant batting effort. 
The Pakistan Cricket Board has already announced the squad for the two Test matches against Bangladesh with Shan Masood as the captain. Babar Azam will play only as a batsman as he has not been given the captaincy or vice-captain duties. On the other hand, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Naseem will lead the bowling department. Md Nasim has been away from Test cricket for a long time but he is available to play two Test matches against Bangladesh.
The first Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan will be held tomorrow and most likely Bangladesh will announce their squad before the match starts. Test series against Pakistan will definitely be tough for Bangladesh on Pakistan soil but there are some experienced cricketers in the Bangladesh team, hope they will perform at their best.
Even I strongly believe Pakistani cricket and PCB are never been well organized for having things on merit but this time they have done good decision and having Shan Masood as captain because Babar Azam is well batsman, and he is not having material for the captaincy, and we are having not good player in current squad who can lead from the front so having Shan Masood even his performance is not good still better for the team and ending grouping which were hurting this team badly in last few months.The first Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan will be held tomorrow and most likely Bangladesh will announce their squad before the match starts. Test series against Pakistan will definitely be tough for Bangladesh on Pakistan soil but there are some experienced cricketers in the Bangladesh team, hope they will perform at their best.
Pakistan is preparing for the Champions Trophy 2025 so we are going to have both test matches at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium this pitch is usually helpful for the seamers so most chances we will have dominance of Shaheed Afridi and Naseem Shah and surely Bangladeshi team will be also tried their best for having better performance even they are going down badly in last few months due to lack of quality and creativity in team.

Most of the countries involved in cricket now host domestic league tournaments, Sri Lanka has been hosting the biggest domestic league in their country for several years called the Lankan Premier League or LPL. We always see criticism about this league. Many times batsmen are seen entering the field wearing different league helmets and in some cases batsmen are seen entering the field by taping the helmet logo only. Since the spotlight is high in such leagues, Sri Lanka should have organized the tournament well so that no one can criticize the tournament. It is really visible that batsmen wearing helmets of other leagues are playing in LPL.
I agree with you that most of the countries in the world host domestic tournaments, especially the tournament of ODI as well as the T20 tournament. And it is too much helpful to gre up the player of the country and through these tournament it is easy to find out the real hero and from there it become easy to find out national players. 
I am not sure whether things are back on track. For sure cricket has been included in the 2028 LA Olympics (should have happened 16 years ago). But there are a lot of uncertainties related to the qualification process. The ICC wants a 6-team competition. Since hosts (USA) get automatic qualification, that would mean just 5 other teams. Also, the ICC doesn't want any qualification tournament, and want the participants to be decided based on their own flawed ranking system. I am not sure whether the IOC will agree to any of these insane demands.
Money talks at the end of the day and the IOC will be on board if the ICC are prepared to pay them as much as they want. Nothing surprising since the IOC is just another board filled with corrupt geezers basically.The remaining teams will probably be top teams like India, Australia, England, New Zealand etc.
Finally, in the eliminator match of The Hundred Men's Cricket Tournament, Southern Brave reached the final with a draw against Birmingham Phoenix. In this match, the players of both the teams showed good performance but the match was a draw as the scores of the two teams were equal. Although the scores of both teams were equal, Southern Brave batted first and collected 126 runs for six wickets from 100 balls. On the other hand, Birmingham Phoenix collected 126 runs for 7 wickets from 100 balls. One of England's best bowlers Jofra Archer bowled brilliantly in this match, due to his best bowling performance his team won and even he was man of the match in this match.
Today will be the battle of supremacy of the Hundred Mens Cricket Tournament. The Oval Invincibles team and the Southern Brave will face each other in the final.
Yesterday final game was also played and now this league was completed and winner of this league is OI team. In final game, OI team really played very well and surprised their fans by win. In start of SB team I'm batting line up I think SB team will win this game because Davies made 35 runs, Vince made 22 runs and Plooy Batsman scored 20 runs. Their starting batsman effort was very good but after losing these wickets other batsman lost their wickets for low runs and target of OI team also very good and they made 147 runs in 100 balls. SB team need to play fast and grab runs without waste any single ball but their batsman disappointed me and also their fans. OI team won this final game as well this league by 17 runs congratulations OI team you really deserve this win and also trophy. Today will be the battle of supremacy of the Hundred Mens Cricket Tournament. The Oval Invincibles team and the Southern Brave will face each other in the final.
If you look at the situation of the match now, ireland women are doing very well, they have made 229 runs in 46 overs for the loss of four wickets. As Ireland women had completed the target of 260 runs of sir Lanka women in the last match and now it seems that Ireland women can give a target of more than 260 which will be a tough target for Sri Lanka women. Last time prendergast of Ireland Woman showed a very good performance but this time she got out after scoring nine runs and this time L Paul is showing a very good performance she has scored 70 runs she is batting with stokell and they have also made 44 runs, they just have to maintain their partnership till the end and if this partnership remains like this, they can make the run target even tougher.
Congratulations to Ireland women for beating Sri Lanka women in the first 2nd ODI game. Ireland women surprised me in this series by betting back to back two games against the champion Sri Lanka women's team. Ireland women's team made 255 runs from the Srilanka women's side. Kavisha Dilhari took two wickets. It seems like that target is average and not enough to defend, but the Ireland women's team did it. All credit goes to Ireland's women's bowlers who bowled out the Srilanka team on 240 runs. They had an excellent bowling performance by Arlene Kelly, who took three key wickets. I didn't imagine such results from srilank women team they fought hard but lose at the end. Ireland women won the series after winning the second game by fifteen runs.

So far, the Sri Lanka team is going to win this match.
They are batting with a good run rate of 5 while their required run rate is 4. At the start of the game, Vishmi Gunaratne lost her wicket that was a danger sign for Sri Lanka but Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama stabled the game as well.
Harshitha Samarawickrama is still batting with Kavisha Dilhari. This time is not for the Ireland women. Finally, the Sri Lankan women will break Ireland's streak of three wins back-to-back (including T20 and Odi.)
Ireland is a very good and strong team. Ireland woman won the game by 3 wickets and 4 balls. The 1st match of ODI tournament between Ireland woman and Sri Lanka woman was played at civil service cricket Club. Ireland woman won the toss and elected to batting first. Ireland woman total runs for 261 and won the match. Sri Lanka woman total runs for 260 and lost the match. The best batting performance in the Sri Lanka woman team was by vishmi gunaratne scored 101 runs and 98 balls hitting 9 fours and 3 sixs. The lost bowling performance Sri Lanka woman team was by Freya sergent scored 10 over conceded 64 runs and took 0 wickets. Congratulations to Ireland for their upcoming matches. Ireland woman is a strong team and wining the match for playing amazing. Sri Lanka is a powerful team. I hope Sri Lanka woman they will play better in the nest match. Their team needs hard work now. Sri Lanka woman had played prolly in all the previous matches as well.
Ireland w team is not good and strong, but they have good performance in first WODI as they were able to chase this huge target and have first won into their 13th WODI matches we have good individual performances from the few players as two hundreds were scored in this game one each by Sri Lankan w and Ireland w this is good as both are taking good experience improving their game as well.Orla Prendergast was aggressive and on target while Ireland w were chasing these 261 runs target in start I was not expecting result like this because Sri Lanka w is very good and strong but after having win in last T20i Ireland w are having good experience and their approach is also positive, so things can go into their favor in second WODI which is going to start in few minutes.

BCCI is the biggest revenue generator for ICC. You cannot replace India with Sri Lanka in the Champions trophy. You can not ignore BCCI when it comes to decision-making in the ICC. The India vs Pakistan match generates more revenue than any other match (or many matches combined). So, the only option is to play the tournament in the hybrid model.
Obviously the ICC won't agree to any major tournament without the Indian national cricket team, because the deal with media rights holders (Disney Star, for the 2024-27 cycle) make it mandatory that Indian team should be present. Anywhere from 80% to 90% of the global cricket revenues come from India, and if the national team is not taking part in the competition, then most of it will be gone. It is unfair to Pakistan, but if PCB is in the same position as the BCCI, then they would also probably do the same thing.
In the current cycle, Aus got the best deal out of it because they went for an 8-year cycle instead of 4. To give you an overall comparison CA sold their 4-year bilateral rights to an Indian broadcaster for more amount, around $250-300 Million.
SriLanka vs England Lions
In the first innings, Sri Lanka played first and made only 139 runs. No body from SL team played a long inning.

England Lions made 324 runs in first innings and Day 2 stumps off brilliant batting by Hamza Shaikh he score 91 runs while Kasey Aldridge played 78 runs innings Sri lanka team failed to put pressure on them As a result England lions put high score and gave the lead of 185 runs to Sri lanka team in second innings Sri lanka players needed to play big innings to trail these runs and gave a good target to England lion to come back in this game.
