The image attached shows the new standings if the elo system was used. England are being screwed over by the current system consistently.
Cricket South Africa didn’t create the FTP for their WTF qualification, so criticising them for qualification isn’t fair. You play the cards you get dealt.
The qualification process is the issue and I’m sure it’s something @JayShah will fix.
