Seems Dhoni is not in Team management T-20 WC plan anymore, as far as i remember Dhoni wanted to play in T-20 wc. Truth to be told Dhoni needs to speak about his retirement plan asap, may be everything is behind the curtains or we can only wait for his farewell game? 
It is really unfair to do that to Dhoni as majority of the Indian fans want to see Dhoni in the team and give him a farewell as he is the first T20 world cup winning captain where he took a young team and surprised everyone by bringing home the trophy and that kick started the T20 trend in Indian and hence IPL was introduced and became a huge success, so give him a good farewell as a token of respect.

"We are moving on" - MSK Prasad on MS Dhoni

Quote
End of the road for Dhoni?

"We are moving on". MSK Prasad, the chief selector, stated thrice through the course of the press conference that the selection committee will "continue to back the youngsters" and persist with them. "Going into domestic cricket, getting his touch back or thoughts about retirement, everything is purely his personal [decision]," Prasad said. "We've already laid the roadmap for the future, I'm sure you can see in the way we are selecting the teams."

We are having another eventful day with the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifiers. Today one of the tournament favorites (Netherlands) lost to Papua New Guinea. In other matches, Nigeria lost to the United Arab Emirates, and Hong Kong managed to defeat Canada. Group A is still looking very much indecisive and other than Bermuda, any of the other 6 teams can qualify.

The last match for today is Bermuda vs Scotland. If Scotland manage to win this one, then they will be in a position to qualify to the semi-finals. That said, in the other group Ireland is looking to be in a lot of trouble. They have only 4 points from 4 matches, and there are three teams with 6 points each (Canada, Oman and UAE). For Ireland, qualifying for the next round is going to be tough.

As far as i understand Kolpak is a residency rule which comes under Europeon union, this rule allow athletes (cricketer) to participate in county cricket (English) with one twist that they can't represent their home country. that's why we see cricketers from another country migrate to England. South Africa losing good amount of domestic players because of this. Brexit might sort things out in this regard.  

100 ball cricket is a English league.

South Africa has lost an entire generation of young white players as a result of their quota system. As per the latest estimates, around three dozen Kolpak players are currently active in the county system, and all of them have joined the county teams after retiring from the international cricket. Simon Harmer and Kyle Abbott are perfect examples. These two players have picked up an unbelievable 394 wickets in county cricket during the last 3 years.

After their pathetic loss to India, the South African captain (Faf du Plessis) was blaming the Kolpak system for the death of cricket in his nation. But I wonder why he is not looking at the root cause. South African domestic sides are require to include 6 colored players in the playing XI. Only the remaining 5 players are selected on the basis of merit. Can you blame the Kolpak players in this situation?
This quota system and political involvment is really killer for any country or sports and we have latest example of South African sports they was really on top just few years ago but now too much involvment and colored players is bringing them down they need to think about this or have to done some home work before implementing law like this now they need nearly one decade for coming back on top.

Afghani spinners and Sandeep from Nepal are in demand as far as any Short-format leagues are concern. Good for individual players who get to sign Kolpak deals and reaping the benefits but SA's skipper raised concerned about these Kolpak deals recently.
I have a doubt here, i am seeing this Kolpak deal, what is that actually and regarding The Hundred, is it a parallel league like the Big Bash and the IPL. Why is there any Indian players being selected nor any other Asian team members in that team but Afghan players are selected.

EDIT:

100 ball cricket  Shocked yet another form of cricket being tested  Grin.

Well.. if I am not wrong, then Indian players (including the domestic players) are banned from taking part in the T20 leagues which are being run by the other boards. Only the retired players are eligible for such tournaments. If you remember, Yuvraj Singh retired from international and first class cricket, before signing up for the Global T20 tournament in Canada.

BCCI doesn't provide NOC to any Indian players. which sucks but when you look at big picture then its smart move from BCCI.

Anyone have any idea how many teams are going to qualify from the T20 WC qualifiers going on right now. Seems like lot of new teams have emerged now. Didn't thought cricket will get popular in so many countries.

Almost impossible to predict now. More than half the matches have been completed in the group stage and even now there are no front-runners. There is so much competition between these 14 teams and all of them looks evenly matched (perhaps with the exception of Bermuda, who looked hapless out there). Nigeria also doesn't have any points, but they have played well till now.

In the Group A, the Netherlands is on top with 6 points, while the other 5 teams have 4 points each. So it is very difficult to predict which teams are going to qualify. My guess is that Netherlands, Scotland and Namibia will finish as the top 3 teams from this group. Group B is even more difficult to predict, especially after today's defeat from Ireland. My guess - Canada, Oman, and Ireland.

Restricting domestic players is too harsh as they will gain experience if they are playing in these tournaments so the BCCI wants to promote IPL and nothing else and if all the cricketing boards starts their own leagues and restrict them to play elsewhere we would see an IPL event with only Indian player .

There is not much room for the international cricketers, as only 3 are permitted in each team (as opposed to 10 for the IPL). May be they'll increase this number in the future.
Even in the IPL only four foreign players are allowed in the playing eleven. So there are restriction on how many foreign players you add to the team, these tournaments might help young talents and it might help groom the young talents.

A few other Asian players are there in the tournament apart from the Afghans. I could see Shadab Khan and Mohammad Amir in the list, and they represent Pakistan. There is not much room for the international cricketers, as only 3 are permitted in each team (as opposed to 10 for the IPL). May be they'll increase this number in the future.

^ Yeah, i am looking forward to it. though it didn't receive good response in Social Media from die hard county fans let's see what happens. I hope BCCI comes with similar thingy in future atleast for domestic players apart from Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

^^^ This is going to be a very exciting tournament for sure. And I am surprised that players representing smaller nations, such as Sandeep Lamichhane (Nepal) and Mohammad Nabi/Rashid Khan/Mujib ur Rahman (Afghanistan) managed to find a place in the squads. Even Netherlands is represented (Roelof van der Merwe and Ryan ten Doeschate).

But the most surprising is the influx of the Kolpak players, including Dane Vilas, Rilee Rossouw, Hardus Viljoen, David Wiese, Kyle Abbott (the same bowler who retired from international cricket in protesting the quota policy in South Africa), Marchant de Lange, Dawid Malan, Jade Dernbach, Leus du Plooy.etc. Imagine what could happen if all these players make themselves available for South Africa...

And it should be remembered that the best player Ireland has ever produced (Eoin Morgan) was stolen by England without giving any sort of compensation to the Irish board. Now many of their star performers, such as Tim Murtagh, Stuart Poynter and Peter Chase have decided to go for county cricket rather than representing Ireland. Cricket in Ireland will never be viable if this situation continues. If their best players refuse to represent the national side, then how are they going to be successful?
You really cannot blame the players, they will select the teams that give them the maximum benefit and after the sport is all about making money with what they know and that too in a limited period of time as sports have a limited period of time where you can perform. If you take all the qualifying teams that play in the T20 tournament majority of them are expats.

They had a disastrous test match against England this year, where they were bundled out for just 38 runs. And some of their key players have made themselves unavailable, in order to play county cricket in England.
You really cannot compare the bowling line up of England and UAE  Cheesy, Ireland had their veteran players like Kevin O'Brien and Paul Stirling in their team and the rest of the members are not familiar with me but if their key players are not playing for the qualifiers and they fail to qualify what is the point, not sure how the board will view those and allow the key players to play country cricket and may i know who these key players are.

I think that he was mentioning about players such as Tim Murtagh, who chose to play for Middlesex rather than representing Ireland. From this year onward, the Irish players are counted as overseas players in county cricket and they need to retire from international cricket if they want to be counted as local players. The only player who has chosen Ireland over county cricket is Paul Stirling. He was associated with Middlesex for more than 10 years, but retired from county cricket when the management asked him to stop playing for Ireland. Boyd Rankin was lucky, as he managed to sign as an overseas player.

Its good to see that the T20 world cup is becoming like the Football world cup with a lot more teams playing for a spot in the T20 world cup finals. I've been watching some of these matches that they do telecast and its good to see so many different countries now playing cricket. One team that has been playing well is PNG but today will be a big test for them as they play Scotland, I would like to see this match but not sure if it will be live streaming.
It is more or like football world cup selection but you cannot match or compare that in any way,T20 will promote cricket like they never had in the past and good to see that there are more countries embracing the shorter version of the game and started having competitions and small tournaments for a while and now we are seeing teams coming up from many countries and it is a sign that T20 sparked the interest in people.

Ok this is the best I could find regarding the telecast of the T20 world cup matches. Here you can find all the official broadcasters of ICC T20 world cup matches. You can find the broadcasters belonging to your specific region. Maybe they won't cover each and every qualifier matches. But you can see a few live matches through these broadcasters. Hope it helps  Smiley
Well I think most of the region will cover this event. Sponsors really waits for time like this in every four or two years what ever the time gap. Anyway, I have it in my region and truth is these days you really do not need a tv LOL

Anyone can watch it from live streaming and if needed they can connect it with their big screen :-D
