Now we have 4 months left in ICC Champions Trophy which is going to hold in Pakistan, but things are looking not favorable due to Indian stance of not visiting Pakistan for cricket.
ECB officials those are on Pakistan visit before ICC meeting in Dubai have their concerns about this which are important as media rights needed both teams to participate in all ICC events hopefully things will have good development in coming weeks as time is running out.
Most chances we will have hybrid model for this Champions Trophy because India is surely not visiting Pakistan under Narendra Modi regime.

I was very sorry to see Queensland performance and the effort and pace of the batting. Because they had given a target of 300 in 50 overs which was a good and strong target. But due to his bowling, the Western Australia batsmen scored 301 runs in 49 overs and won the match. If the Queensland bowlers had played well and stop the runs they could have won the match, but they did not try and did not play well, which led to the loss of the match. He should have played well for his team hard work. Congratulations to Western Australia on this win. Their bowlers didn't cooperate which will also dash their hope as their last hope of victory was their bowlers who would have put pressure on them with good bowling and the runs would have been less and the match would have gone.

Well.. let's not forget the fact that Papua New Guinea was part of the 2019–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2. They were relegated to Cricket World Cup Challenge League, after finishing at the rock bottom of World Cup League 2. Kenya was part of the 2019–2022 Challenge League, so nothing changed for them. The case of PNG is tragic, as they are one of the few associate nations with 100% native squads. Teams with 100% foreign players are getting promoted, while teams like PNG are getting relegated.

South Africa is a known strong team and they have years of experience. So most of people won't wonder if South Africa won the match but Ireland won by 69 runs against South Africa in their 3rd ODI match which is a big thing for them. Although south Africa won the series but Ireland also proved themselves by won a single Match against South Africa. In that match, Ireland won the toss and opted to Bat first. They played total 50 overs and made 284-9 runs. Their top batsman did very impressive batting, adrew Balbirnie(45) and Harry Tector(60) made good runs. And specially captain Paul Stirling(88) showed a legendary performance behalf of Ireland but unfortunately he missed his century for few runs. Rest of players did performance good enough but due to the fantastic performance by their top batsmen they scored good runs. On the other hand, South Africa's starting wasn't good enough. Maybe due to pressure, Lost 3 wickets at 10-3 runs only. Some player made some runs although. And Jason Smith(91) was a gems who gave his best for his team but totally they scored 215-10 runs only and lost the match. But they won the series which is an archivement for South Africa team.
South Africa which was not that good team but they have improve themselves by changing themselves and have made it possible that they are win matches now and will become stronger.If you look at Ireland effort in this match, they all worked hard here but there were two matches before that where they lost where they could have worked but they didn't.He play brilliantly in this match but this win has no weight on him as South Africa have won the series.If Ireland have won a match and proved that they are strong, what will be the difference between them and South Africa winning the series?I am sorry and their batsmen have disappointed in the first two matches, their hard work could have paid off in those matches but their interest and not playing well takes away from them. 
In the third match, South Africa did not perform as well as the batting performance of the previous two matches. South Africa lost three crucial wickets at the start of their 285-run target, which put pressure on their batting line-up, with Tristan Stubbs and Verrynne again playing defensively to try and take some control of the match. But that control did not last long and the catch continued to lose wickets at regular intervals and was eventually bowled out for 215 runs. However, the final match saved Ireland the shame of being a whitewash for the time being.
I agree, South Africa squad is very powerful and experience squad in international Cricket sport yes it is true that their squad performance in third match was not good and in previous two matches, their squad displayed amazing performance and they simply defeated Ireland squad with no burden as massive difference. Every cricket lover including me believe that Ireland squad also lost this third match before start because their squad strength was too weak and not very good that's why they faced defeat two times. But their performance surprised everyone with Defeating south Africa squad in third match with good difference of scores 69. Target scores of Ireland squad was not too huge if we look previous two matches South Africa managed 300 plus scores as a target but their batters did not express such performance in third match and lost their important wickets in early stage which put their squad in burden and at end of match, they badly faced defeat.In the third match, South Africa did not perform as well as the batting performance of the previous two matches.

South Africa won series but Ireland did great in last game. Ireland batting was impressive with many players doing well. This shows Ireland has potential and should not be underestimated. They also won T20 game earlier. South Africa might relax now but Ireland should keep going. I think Ireland will become strong team if they keep playing well. They have too much potential to compete with the top teams. And I hope they will continue this performance in future to stand against strong top team.
Yes South Africa won the series but Ireland last game was very impressive. Ireland batting was excellent showing they have a lot of potential. This is not just luck they also won T20 game earlier. This success should motivate Ireland to keep improving. South Africa might get too confident but Ireland must stay focused. If Ireland keeps playing well they will become strong team. It is exciting to think about Ireland future. If they keep up this good work they will be a serious challenger in international cricket.In addition to the batting of these two, Graham Hume and Craig Young took three wickets each which played a vital role in their team's victory. The more series or matches smaller and weaker teams play against bigger and stronger teams, the more confidence and improvement they will gain.

This success should motivate Ireland to keep improving. South Africa might get too confident but Ireland must stay focused. If Ireland keeps playing well they will become strong team. It is exciting to think about Ireland future. If they keep up this good work they will be a serious challenger in international cricket.I think at this point they need consistency in their performance. If they win a few more matches against the stronger teams, their cricketing progress will be easily confirmed. At this moment if this team wants to maintain continuous improvement, they must play more series otherwise it may be difficult to maintain the continuity of their improvement.
South Africa won series but Ireland did great in last game. Ireland batting was impressive with many players doing well. This shows Ireland has potential and should not be underestimated. They also won T20 game earlier. South Africa might relax now but Ireland should keep going. I think Ireland will become strong team if they keep playing well. They have too much potential to compete with the top teams. And I hope they will continue this performance in future to stand against strong top team.
Yes South Africa won the series but Ireland last game was very impressive. Ireland batting was excellent showing they have a lot of potential. This is not just luck they also won T20 game earlier. This success should motivate Ireland to keep improving. South Africa might get too confident but Ireland must stay focused. If Ireland keeps playing well they will become strong team. It is exciting to think about Ireland future.

The more series or matches smaller and weaker teams play against bigger and stronger teams, the more confidence and improvement they will gain.
