^^^ Is it even allowed to take a political stance in the ICC tournaments? And what has the war between Israel and Palestine has to do with cricket? If Pakistan is supporting Hamas, then there may be other countries who support Israel. For example, England is one of the participating nations and they have sent military aid to Israel.

If different teams and players start fighting over politics, then in the end sports is going to suffer.
ICC is very strict in political matters, so the incident of Md. Rizwan was viewed strictly by ICC. But here Mohammad Rizwan made a big mistake but it is not like that. The kind of torture that goes on in Gaza and the kind of brutality that Israel perpetrates will shake anyone's tender heart. You must have seen the videos of children being attacked by marijuana where a large number of children are losing their lives and this is happening on a regular basis. Whether you are a Muslim or you belong to any other religion is not a big deal for you, you are a human being that is your identity. Mohammad Rizwan's tweet about this torture and brutality may not stop the war or have any major impact in this war but he expressed his bad feeling as a human being through social media.

Pakistan vs South Africa
In 26th match, Pakistan won toss and elected to bat first in pitch against South Africa team. If we see performance of past matches of Pakistan team the they disappointed their fans and now they lost four matches and won only two matches. If their performance continue like this then they will not qualify in semi final match. In today match, they gave 270 runs target which is normal target not a tough target. But in bowling side, their performance was little bit better than batting side. they gave a trouble time to South Africa because South Africa won this match by only one wickets with 16 balls. Performance of Q.de Kock was not outstanding in this match. He scored only 24 runs in 14 balls and he hitted five 4s. He is in the top #1 in player stats because he made brilliant centuries in old matches.

Pakistan should choose to bowling after winning the toss,because the chasing was the easier one in the Chennai stadium.It was the first blunder of the Pakistan team.The Pakistan had taken nearly 9 wickets in the second half,So the last wicket had played the magic game today.This was treat to the fans of Chepauk stadium and it was the nail biting game today.This match is not the important to the South Africa,Since they already in the second position.With the victory of today game,the South Africa had reached the top of the table.Since their was huge balls left at the end,the Pakistan was failed to take the last wicket till the end.

Just wanted to share an emotional event in this world cup.
Rizwan attended prayer on the ground during the match and he prayed during the water break. He did this all in the match of Pakistan vs Netherlands and when the match was played between Sri Lanka and Pakistan so Rizwan hit a century and when the match was over then Rizwan tweeted this century goes to our brothers and sisters of Gaza, which means Rizwan gave their performance to Palestine, and then the media of India say that this is not good, remove Rizwan from this World Cup and other such things. Then Vineet Jindal was the lower of India and he caused to Rizwan because of prayer and ICC didn’t take any action, and then media criticised to Rizwan and other players of the Pakistan cricket team tweeted that we stand with Palestine.

Maybe it's related to time? T-20 does take 4-5 hours sometimes so it does affect the budget then there are stuff like DRS etc. Tbh, I find all arguments odd.
It clearly feels like there are a lot of compromises already, which is very uncharacteristic of the IOC. They are literally agreeing to everything ICC's demands

When cricket was first introduced to Commonwealth Games (in 1998), it was a 16-team competition. And this year we had the Asian Games Cricket Competition, which had 14 participants (and it got over in 10 days). A 6-team competition would make sense if a proper qualifying system is in place. But directly selecting 6 participants and dividing three medals among them is not something I can agree with. Football is more popular than cricket and FIFA is much more powerful than the ICC. If FIFA agrees to an Olympic qualifier and 16-team tournament, then what is the issue with ICC?
^^ I came across Sports Tak's (Guess it's related to Aaj Tak) Journalist commentary on it, not Vikrant but another senior journalist (don't know his name). It's a famous sports Youtube channel in India so there might be some truth to it.
- 5-6 participants because they don't want to increase the budget as hosting multiple team tournaments is expensive.
- There might be some relaxation on the 23-year age restriction rule for every team, there is a possibility of full strength team participation but it obviously depends on the individual cricket boards.
- No qualification atm and it will depend on the ICC cut off ranking system (Top-6)

The first argument is laughable. First of all, the budget comes from IOC and not from the ICC. And none of the team sports in the Olympics have 6 participants. Dividing three medals between 6 countries (and that too with direct entry for all the participants) doesn't bode well. For comparison Basketball, Field hockey, Handball, Rugby and Volleyball events had 12 teams each, while Football tournament had 16 participants. And none of these events had the direct entry system. There was an Olympic qualifier in place for each of these events.

Sachin Tendulkar has commented in Twitter about the inclusion of cricket in Olympics:
https://twitter.com/sachin_rt/status/1713866155885256800
I am still confused about the number of participants and qualifying system. The ICC wants a 6-team tournament, with no qualifying tournament (they want teams to be selected from the ICC ranking instead). The IOC is definitely not going to agree to this and in the end two sides need to come down to a compromise solution. Anyway, one plus point is that since cricket is now an Olympic sport, many of the national cricket boards in associate nations such as China, Russia and Iran now becomes eligible for increased funding from the government.

After a wait of more than a century, our beloved sport is back on the Olympic stage at @LA28. This marks the dawn of a new era for cricket as it will be a golden opportunity to foster inclusivity and showcase new talent from emerging cricketing nations. A start of something truly special!

England vs Ireland
Second ODI match between England and Ireland lived. Ireland won toss and decide to bowling first. England batting performance has been commendable. England played 30 over and scored 194 runs while losing 3 wicket. Ireland seems to be difficult situation because bowling performance not good. If England continues this performance they successfully set a target of 300 or more runs.

Ireland right now need 73 runs in 37 balls. There is 27 runs last wicket partnership going on. Chances of Ireland winning this game are very rear but they are doing good by giving a good fight. England scored 334 runs in 50 overs and Ireland in replay are not giving a good fight by scoring 262 runs and still one wicket in hand. Ireland cricket is improving day by day and soon they can get regular test status.
In the match between England and Ireland, Ireland improved quite a bit but could not save wickets. The fall of wickets was high which ultimately led to an all out and departure from the field. If Ireland could have kept their wickets in this match, it would have been a competitive match in the end. Because I can see that England is a strong team compared to England Ireland is not strong so it is natural that Ireland has a weakness in these matches. The bowling line of England team is weak and has pace which is ready to counter the Ireland team. If the Tucker players of the Ireland team could have collected something, we could have seen a competitive match here.
England Lost today in the world cup by the underdog, Afghanistan, A very big upset indeed.
Afghanistan won by 69 scores and also had the 6th position in the point table so maybe the Afghanistan team can qualify for the top 4 semi-finalists. They won the match with a very high and amazing run rate, which can help the Afghanistan team to qualify for the top 4, but I think that they can’t qualify as semi-finalists because the competition is so high. They need to win against Pakistan, New Zealand, South Africa, and other countries. This is a tough challenge for Afghanistan.
The most shocking news of this World Cup is that Australia is at last position in the World Cup until today. This is a piece of shocking news because they won 5 times ODI World Cup. They won in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2015.
The Nepal cricket team is playing some exceptional cricket. They are learning continuously, and in the next few years, they might be a tough team to beat at a lower level. If they get regular opportunities to play against the top teams (like in the Asia Cup), they will improve a lot and could be the next big cricket team in Asia. They have some good batters in the middle order, particularly Kushal Malla, who is playing good cricket. They only need to improve their opening pair and their bowling.
Cricket is the most popular sport in Nepal, and all of their players are natives. Perhaps because of this, they have received zero support from the ICC. Teams such as Oman and the United Arab Emirates, which are 100% made of foreign players receive 20x more funding compared to Nepal from the ICC. Cricket in Nepal is alive, because a few businessmen who love the sport continue to support the national team. With a bit more support from the ICC, they have the potential to become the next Afghanistan.
Nepal is just showing their class to the other teams and they stand out among them. Not only do they score big runs but at the same time they bowl out the opposition very cheaply. In the latest match, they won by 138 runs against Maldives. In the match before that Nepal beat Mongolia by 273 runs.
The other teams need to improve themselves in order to compete with Nepal. However, I am interested to see how Nepal will play against the stronger India, Pakistan and Srilanka teams. Are they the new emerging Asian Team?
Congratulations to Nepal cricket team for huge victory of 138 Runs against Maldives. Nepal team shown another dominant display by Scoring 212/7 at the Asian Games as they defeat Maldives by 138 runs, securing their position at the top of Group A. Nepal team performance was amazing Kushal Malla played 47* runs Inning in 27 balls and 6 wickets haul by Abinash just give only 11 runs in his 4th Over. I think Its a tough match for Team Maldives against Nepal, Maldives bowled Out in just 74/10 but their fighting spirit was truly unmatched. Maladies Needs to improve his Batting skills and as well as bowling Unit.The other teams need to improve themselves in order to compete with Nepal.

Even Nepal is having good time in last few matches against teams like Mongolia and Maldives, but it's never been easy to compete with quality like Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka as we already watch in last Asia Cup how things were happened because now they are far behind in quality and available sources as well which are needed for having good quality and performance for competing with top teams.The other teams need to improve themselves in order to compete with Nepal. However, I am interested to see how Nepal will play against the stronger India, Pakistan and Srilanka teams. Are they the new emerging Asian Team?
ICC needs to work on for the development of few countries which can bring good changes, and also they can bring more revenue from these markets as well because recently we have good interest from many countries, and now they are also sending their teams for few competitions as well, but sadly ICC has never been good place for these associate countries which are interested in the quality game in cricket.
Today Asian games T20 7 match between Nepal vs Maldives had ended.Nepal won the match by 138 runs. Kushal Malla and Rohit Paudel played well and stand a rock of scores for Maldives players. Kushal Malla made 47 runs in just 20 balls and Rohit Paudel scored 52 runs in just 27 balls. Nepal made 212 runs with fall of 7 wickets. Kushal Bhurtel and Gulsan Jha made 35 _35 runs and showed good contribution. Nazwan took 3 wickets by giving 17 runs in 4 overs. Naseer took 1 wicket by giving 23 runs in 3 overs. In response, Maldives team cannot chase this score and all team out on 74 runs. Ganee made 36 runs in 34 balls. Maldives 8 batsman cannot enter in double figures. Bohara took 6 wickets by 11 runs in 3.4 overs. Kami and Jha took 1 - 1 wicket.
I did say that Nepal is the best team among all of these three. And that is what is being proven time and time again. Nepal is just destroying the other two teams. And it is absolutely true that there is nothing which the other teams can actually do about it. In this match. Also, Nepal just destroyed their opponent. They put on a very big score, which was definitely impossible for the opponent to actually successfully chase down. 213 is definitely a very big score for any team to chase. And it was the Maldives who had to chase down this total. As soon as they saw the target, they knew they were screwed. Eight players were not able to reach their score to a double digit and six of them were zeros. Maldives had no hope in this match.

I think ICC hosting part of WC in the States will become one of the reasons for some losses to broadcasters and that's why last year I felt Disney overpaid for the ICC media rights.
If this USA testing round doesn't hold up then the next media right cycle is going to take a hit and don't forget we have the Champions Trophy in the Pakistan. There would be some epic drama for sure, maybe the hybrid model will take the lead.
I agree with few points but now things are still taking good changes, and we have to accept them ICC is not thinking just about India they are now working on few other aspects as well which need to work on and this twenty20 world cup could be tested case for them which can make things good or dead for the rest of future as well.If this USA testing round doesn't hold up then the next media right cycle is going to take a hit and don't forget we have the Champions Trophy in the Pakistan. There would be some epic drama for sure, maybe the hybrid model will take the lead.
Champions Trophy future in Pakistan is also not secure with most chances we will have serious headache, or they have to move this from here to the UAE or any other destination because even as you are calling if we have changes in Pakistan politics then hybrid could be work as well but this time most chances they will be gone for the UAE.
Headache for PCB and ICC but fans and to some extent, BCCI might grab popcorn lol.
Possibly but it must be a successful model in India as well, otherwise, it'll struggle to make a mark.
Agreed. Any cricket format needs to become popular in India first when compared to every other country for various obvious reasons. The T-10 format could become popular pretty quickly everywhere.However, I don't think the boards will focus primarily on it anytime soon thanks to the popularity of the T-20 format.
