Kenya was a much better team in back in the days than the current team. They played semi in 2003, I remember we used to have enjoyed at that point when Bangladesh won a match against Kenya. It was not that easy for Bangladesh to win a match against them those days.

Just for Lolz

I remember this Kenya, see the highest run scorer from Indian side, Its Harbhajan singh Grin

not including Zimbabwe team, they knocked down some heavy weight in world cricket as well.

Completely forgot that teams like Kenya and Zimbabwe even existed which is why I am honestly not shocked to see them go. Its all about entertainment value at the end of the day and these 2 teams failed to deliver.

It's very heart breaking to see Kenya, Zimbabwe teams are disappearing. Kenya is almost gone if I am not wrong, the team Zimbabwe may be following their path too. Team like Netherlands (never knew they play cricket until recently) has beaten Zimbabwe in the recent times. I lost money on them LOL (jokes nothing important). Truth is that when politics involves in a team then they collapse. It happened with these two countries.

Netherlands and Ireland seem like much better replacements in this regard and I feel that they can provide much better entertainment value in the long term.

Same with Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Once you are in the competition and you will have a solid management then you are forced to improve.

Srilanka is playing world cup since the beginning. They have won the title of ODI champion in 1996 world cup, had no 1 in test cricket, won t20 world cup in 2014. They are worst now.

The first of 10 T20 World Cup qualifiers start tomorrow with Singapore v Qatar, these matches may not mean much to most people on here however its good to see how these countries are coming along as most are new to playing cricket. Nepal looks to be the best team in this tournament and should qualify for the T20 World Cup. Not sure how the other countries go as I haven't seen them play much, Qatar I believe are an okay team.

This is not the first T20WC 2020 qualifier. Out of the 5 regions, 3 have completed the regional qualifying tournaments. The Asian qualifier will start from tomorrow, and a total of 5 teams are taking part. The last is the American qualifier, scheduled for August.

I am not very excited about this format. They have given only one slot for Asia (only the winner of the regional qualifier will participate in the global qualifying tournament), while they gave two slots each to Africa and Americas. Asia has some very strong teams like Nepal and Malaysia, and this is very unfair to them. On the other hand, weak teams such as the USA and Bermuda are being given cakewalks, so that they can qualify for the global qualifier.

Only 4 teams are taking part in the American qualifier (Canada, USA, Bermuda, Caymans) and two will go to the global qualifying tournament. It is very unfair to give these teams an advantage when compared to Nepal/Malaysia/Singapore.

Yes I agree with you on that it isn't fair for the Asian countries trying to qualify but I guess its because we already have teams from this region like India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and that they want a mix of teams from around the world. I don't agree with it as to only have four countries from the Americas competing and the top two qualify isn't fair at all.

This is cricket and not football where you need to represent countries from all over the world. Instead of global qualifier from the regions, we should have the best qualifiers regardless of the regions so that only the best teams qualifies for T20 world cup. I also think that cricket is not a popular sports in American region.

For example, Afghanistan has been improving slowly and steadily, but still managed to lose every single match in the World Cup though there were a few close calls.

Anyway, good to see that team like Netherlands, Qatar, Nepal and some other young teams are coming into the competition. May be in the next 30 to 50 years from now we will see some very different test nations and world cup winners.

Its good to see more and more countries like Qatar and Singapore improving in the world of Cricket, but they face a long battle ahead since the competition is tough in every way. Lets see how far they go.

Somewhere this countries have to start and it is better ate than never. Also we have seen how Afghanistan a new entry in recent years have started playing so much good cricket and Bangladesh are capable of beating top teams itself shows that this new countries have a good scope in future.

Are you sure about it that he did not make any announcement about his retirement ? In the fist Semi final of the WC, when Dhoni was run out, i clearly heard the commentator saying that this is the last time we see Dhoni on the match.

Even i have found the commentary from the cricinfo where the commentator saying that "Dhoni is run out for the last time"

Quote from: onrise on July 20, 2019, 12:31:19 PM

This is quite possible that he would like to retire in India by playing for India in India itself . This will give him a good platform to retire in front of his own country people and bid adieu to the cricket. That may be the reason he might have just not announced the retirement yet.

This is a good theory. May be you are right however I would like to see him to play as long as he wants. Dhoni is a brand for Indian cricket and his existence gives the team extra boost. Everyone knows when Dhoni is in the pitch India will not lose the match.

I am not sure if Ms Dhoni can play ODI because he has announced his retirement for One day International cricket. For t20, i think young players should be given the chance. The WI team is not so strong and i do not thing there is any need for Ms Dhoni in this series. This will be a good time where india can play with a new wicket keeper.

Dhoni didn't make any announcement related to retirement yet. He did withdrawal his name from upcoming Windies series, so we are not going to see Dhoni for a couple of month in Blue jersey. There are some chances of his announcement when South Africa- Bangladesh visiting India later this year.

Ferguson to Dhoni, 1 run, OUT, Guptill, you legend. He runs out another legend. Rocket direct hit to dismiss Dhoni. Is that that? Dhoni walks back.... for the last time

No I'm not watching this T20 blast as I don't get these matches here to watch. I am interested in the up coming T20 World Cup qualifier matches to see which team can qualify for the next T20 World Cup. Nepal have been on the improve recently so I'm thinking that they will win and qualify.

I will not wathc the T20 blast too, not a big fan of it however I am interested for the India vs West Indies series. Talking about the T20 world cup, there will be a pool like we had for IPL without any doubt.

Let's awake this topic for the upcoming India vs WI serious and also for the T20 blast. Not sure if anyone is watching the matches in T20 blast. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/_/id/8053/season/2019/vitality-blast

I’ll be watching this t20 series keenly because West Indies have the best set of players when it comes to t20 format, hence it’ll be interesting to see how team India will fare against them. India’s captain Virat will have a point to prove after he failed to take his side in the finals of the World Cup, and he’ll want to win this series to silence his critics. Ms Dhoni inclusion and exclusion from this series is sure to create a big debate, what do you’ll think should he be selected or should he be dropped?.

Yes, T20 series between India and West Indies will be an interesting one. Although west Indies team is ranked at number 9 in T20 ICC ranking but they will be an altogether different team in their home country.
By the way india team is ranked at number 5 in T20 rankings.

The initial draft for the Euro T20 Slam 2019 got completed yesterday and the mainstream media chose not to cover it. A total of 6 teams are participating, including two each from the Netherlands, Ireland and Scotland. You can get the full team composition here:

Some of the international super-stars, such as Rashid Khan, Eoin Morgan and Imran Tahir are taking part. But the interest is going to be mooted in India, as Indian players are not taking part (although there were rumors that Yuvraj Singh might participate).
