All of these things, I think, have added to the charm of the tournament.

The fact that the sport that we love may be finally heading towards being a little more global than being restricted to a smaller group.

And I think that can only be good for the game.

Both men's and women's cricket, I think, is now expanding.

And long may that continue because there will come a day, I hope,

when we can talk about cricket.

Not quite in the same vein as we do about football.

That will probably never happen.

But to get more and more nations, more diversity and more skills and more techniques and more new things.

That's what the name of the game is.

And cricket's headed that way in my view.

This tournament certainly played its role.

compelling stories and narratives of teams coming from seemingly nowhere but really performing well absolutely and i as i said earlier i just feel that if these nations get more opportunities and there's a lot of talk about how this can be achieved

You're going to play a permanent or a senior ranked team or a higher ranked team on the way.

What's the geography?

Can you stop by and play a game in Namibia or in Zimbabwe when you're going to South Africa or play a game against one of the European teams if you're touring England and so on and so forth.

I think that needs to become part of the mandate almost, even if it's bilateral, even if it's not necessarily part of the WTC cycle.

I think the more established teams need to do their bit

And I actually, I've said this before once and I don't know anyone will ever take me upon it, but I think there's almost a case to think about whether the bigger T20 franchise leagues can almost put together a side which is sort of a representative of the rest of the world.

There was a time when they used to be sort of the best team in Test Match Cricket playing the rest of the world Test Team.
