In just a few days time, a few associate teams being Scotland and the rising and impressive one Ireland will be competing with the giants Australia and England. But the question is with Cricket being one of the worlds leading sports certainly the best bat and ball game in the world, it still somehow played by only a select few mainly the 10 test playing nations. But why only them? why cannot it expand and add newer full members?

If so then what is the criteria for the leading associates to become a full member nation?

How did Zimbabwe and Bangladesh become full member nations given how still lets be honest pathetic they are? 

and despite Ireland doing clearly much better in terms of achieving their main ambition of becoming a test playing nation than the 2 weaker full members, it still not happening for them.

I don't know about you but I want teams like Ireland especially the game coming up to succeed as much as possible because Cricket is getting boring with very few teams and these few teams playing eachother over and over again.
