So you’re telling me, associate sides have to play in a 3 year 50 over tournament, to qualify for a qualifier to qualify for another tri-series qualifier to then qualify for a World Cup.
Love how the ICC keeps 'innovating' the T20 format every two years almost like the last one was never actually the finished product they sold us. Truly visionary work, gentlemen.

His name was Manjunath Shanmugam.
He was an IIM Lucknow graduate.
He got a job with Indian Oil Corporation as a sales officer.
His territory was Uttar Pradesh.
He found that petrol pump dealers were adulterating fuel and cheating customers.
He reported it. He sealed the pumps.
On November 19 2005 a petrol pump owner shot him dead outside his office.
He was 27 years old.
The killers were convicted. Sentenced to life imprisonment.
His parents did not get compensation for 15 years.
His college created the Manjunath Shanmugam Trust in his name to fight corruption.
Some men die because they refused to look the other way.
India forgets them too quickly.
It's extremely weird, and not scrutinised enough by cricket media, that the ICC's official accounts now appear to be mere tools in the chairman's craven personal ambitions to become an influencer.
Narendra Modi Airport Scam
6 out of the 7 airports inaugurated in Uttar Pradesh by BJP govt have turned into Ghost Airports with no passengers or flights, thousands of crores of tax payers money gone into the ditch! Who benefitted from these ?

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh continues to occupy a MP alloted bungalow in Lutyens despite not being an MP since May 2024. BJP is so afraid of this molester that they could not make him vacate this bungalow.
Kudos to this reporting by Harsh Yadav.🫡
