Maybe South Africa, but definitely not Pakistan. I know how crazy Pakistanis are for cricket (same with Sri Lanka as well). It is the most popular sport, and that too by a big margin. Now they have established the PSL and it is attracting new fans as well. There is concern regarding the refusal of various teams to tour Pakistan, but that is applicable to all the sports and not just cricket. But I agree with you on South Africa. Rugby and Football are far more popular there, especially among the black population. On top of that, dozens of good players emigrate every year, to England, New Zealand, Australia and even to associate nations.
Pakistan is really mad for cricket and we can see that by the support they give to their players. Pakistan players will always have to agree to that.
Recently I've seen this video: https://www.facebook.com/PakistanCricketBoard/videos/1420009361734477 they got worm welcome in Bangladesh tour.
I also like the way the Pakistan cricketers acknowledged the support of their fans in the recent series in Bangladesh. Pakistan will never lose their hope in cricket in my opinion and this should also be the same case about South Africa even though I know that some other sports are popular in that country too. You know, South Africa has given us some world-class players and some great memories in cricket and we would like them to continue doing that."
Craze about cricket in Sub-Continent is same in all countries like Bangladesh, India and Pakistan but India has some good control just because of big market, so they are using their power and trying to sabotage cricket of small other countries for their market of IPL which is really concern right now they need to understand all things and live like UEFA countries with all having their share in this market and enjoy, but sadly mind set is not allowing this all. But good thing all is doing their own best for having good and fair play which is positive for this game of cricket and countries like South Africa and Zimbabwe are suffering because they have some big gape between black and white players quality sadly in last 3 decades blacks unable to adopt this in better way and still using quota and other bad tactics for control which is hurting them in long run.

I think that the main problem here is everybody is thinking more self-centered and not thinking about the distant future. Yes, I am not saying that there is no racism in football. In fact, I think that racism is still a really big problem in football and we can see that in the field even sometimes. But the problem is we see racism in football maybe sometimes on the field but with the footballers, the selectors for the coaches never do racist stuff or something as far as I know. But in cricket, the situation is absolutely rivers because fans don't even know what racism is in cricket but the selectors and the cricket boards know, it very well and that's why sometimes good players don't come forward.

the craze for cricket in all the countries of indian subcontinent is huge. Not only in India but in Bangladesh and pakistan it is huge just india has more population more media coverage and more money we only hear about india but fans of Bangladesh are more crazy than indian I believe.
Sad to see teams like Zimbabwe specially who were once a very competitive side in the past but now ICC banned them and we dont see them in ICC tournaments.
Domestic issues killing cricket in many countries like West Indies, South Africa and Zimbabwe because these related to their local leadership and ICC or any international institute can't do anything which is really hurting this game of cricket very badly recently, Sometime back Sri Lanka was also facing some problems, but now they are doing much better and having some better players through their talent hunt programs Bangladesh is also improving even it's not as its basic need still doing some good Afghanistan facing some serious dilemma because of security issue at their home and playing cricket in the UAE.

Overall cricket is in not good shape due to lack of leadership which can bring some better reforms and having better future for countries those are really serious to spread this.

I really don't think that people disagree with going to Pakistan, for two hours is going to be certain that Pakistan is to play cricket. I mean that is not a thing for sure right? Pakistan is going to be a great cricket-playing nation or whether or not anyone admits it or not. The problem is that the media is trying to portray that most of the Muslim cricket-playing nations are basically terrorists. so people are also starting to believe that, even though maybe they don't want to.
Currently, just Indian media is doing his usual job as they are doing this all for 74 years against Pakistan not against all Muslim countries because they can't afford this they have very strong business relationship with them, and they need to be with them, so they are never doing against any other country it's all happening against Pakistan as its biggest problem for Indian politicians and media which need this for their profit and common peoples involvement in dirty politics.

After Afghanistan war this all started very strongly as they lost very big investments, and now they want to spread this all against Pakistan even we all know it's all useless now they can't enter in Afghanistan as they have done this all in presence of the USA and allay countries. Good things many countries still understand this all and having good view and relationship so hopefully in near future more things could be flexible, and we will be able to have some better cricketing environment in more countries.

Well, we all know that India has to keep a good relationship with certain Islamic countries because they are way too powerful for India to handle. I am obviously not saying that Pakistan is weak but we all can agree that India had no right to those Pakistan people on the border. We all know that the land rightfully belongs to Pakistan. And obviously, Indian media will always try to cover up and play the victim. And tell me one more thing, FIFA has always faced this type of problem with a lot of countries but they handled it well enough. But the problem is when it ICC has only 10 to 15 cricket-playing Nations and one or two often loses its playing status because of these shitfuckery, why would the other Nations be interested?

If countries continue to refuse to tour Pakistan as they are doing right now, I am sure Pakistanis will lose interest in cricket. You can see interest of Pakistanis in cricket from crowd in any match, not many come to see cricket in grounds. PSL is also not a success as most of international players are not coming to play in Pakistan.
Talking about this is useless because now PSL is having some good success many good players already involved and few announces about playing in this is already on record, so please stop this all it is matter of time all is going to be clear soon. They already have some good contracts about Television rights and now matches completely shifting in Pakistan is good signs for them.

Sadly peoples like you with sick mind still having problems about this all just wait for some more time you will watch how things are going in their favour because right now after IPL adding 2 more teams few players will feel not good about this even they have some good finances package, but they need some better way for their own sack as well so few players will join here in PSL instead of IPL work load is also having good help for them.

It will be good news for Pakistan cricket fans that more foreign players are jumping in. Can you name anyone from Aus, NZ and England willing to play psl in Pakistan? I guess there won't be many. Ipl is much bigger industry then psl, so it's not a valid comparison. Pakistan need international cricket on there home ground ASAP

Cricket is being reduced to a sport that is concentrated only in the sub-continent and among the sub-continental diaspora. You ask someone from USA, Russia, Brazil, Nigeria, China or Japan whether they have heard about cricket, and they would reply that it is an insect. Due to lack of support from the ICC, some of the associate nations which are having more than a hundred years of cricketing history are now vanishing from the cricket scene. I am talking about countries such as Denmark, Netherlands, Canada, Argentina and Kenya.
Agree with your statement even now cricket is not having good marketing in Australia and New Zealand because Rugby is taking very good place as I was watching a channel and Anchor was asking questions about cricket in Australia I was shocked there is no good knowledge even many no have idea about great cricketers from these countries.

This craze is available only in Sub-Continent so ICC feeling very happy with some good funds from these countries and enjoying luxuries without doing any good and positive marketing about this sport in Latino America which is also big market for this sport we are losing grounds in Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and in West Indies.

If you google "popular sports in the world", you will find cricket among top 3 sports on almost all sites. If ICC is not interested in making cricket popular they why we already see cricket among worlds most popular games? With IPL taking place every year, cricketers are getting money equivalent to English premier leagues players.

Unlike the case with other sports bodies, the ICC doesn't want to popularize cricket. They believe that if more countries play cricket, then the dominance of big-3 may get negatively impacted. As a result they have reduced the participation of associate nations in ICC tournaments, and have changed the eligibility criteria for representing national sides. Back in 2007, we had 16 countries in the ODI world cup. And in 2023, we will be having just 10 countries. Even Kabaddi and Baseball world cups have greater number of teams.

I think that ICC has the power and they can easily reach out to make cricket more famous to people. But the problem is well everything happens around money then a lot of good things are ignored because of some self-gain. I think you said it right that it is just a dream and it will remain in if ICC doesn't take bigger steps in my opinion.

Cricket is a game that is already not so much popular in the world and if ICC also tries to make it less popular, then obviously I think we are stuck with these 10 to 15 teams in cricket for a long time. Where is the fun in having less competition? I really don't agree with these types of things and I think people would too.

So it's big 3 that don't want more countries to check in using the ICC cover. Through T20 more countries can be included in cricket ecosystem, its a good opportunity. Through test n odi cricket won't find its way to more nation. Cricket needs more countries  otherwise it won't get popularity.

Woman cricket is boring I say. Nobody want to see it, lets accept the fact. England and Australia are promoting woman cricket since there community may have some interest woman cricket. Other then that I dont think any country has interest in woman cricket. Also its not necessary that whatever men do woman must also do that.

Allocate IPL level money and coverage for Woman IPL and see how interesting it will be. We live in male dominated society that's why not many boards are willing to allocate funds for woman leagues, lets accept that as well. I watched woman T20 if its on TV but most of the times channels are not willing to cover it.

@Juggy777, ICC does not have the power to in force but they do have the power of suggestion and if they did make women's cricket popular enough and maybe make it more appealing to peopleside then maybe almost every board would have thought about it.

ICC has powers but only in front of weak boards not in front of big-3. Recently they threat Afghanistan cricket board that they will cancel there membership if womans are not allowed to play in Afghanistan. The new regime in Afghanistan ensured that woman's are free to play cricket in Afghanistan, on that ICC resumed membership of Afghan cricket. Of course ICC cant force BCCI for woman IPL since BCCI is one step above ICC.
