The ICC's decision today to reduce the 2015 World Cup to a 10-team tournament - excluding all associate nations - is nothing short of appalling. There have been a lot of good articles and blog posts written about this by people whose opinions are identical to mine. One I'd recommend is this post by Jarrod Kimber. I'm certainly going to do as he suggests and email enquiry@icc-cricket.com to enquire "why they thought it was a good idea to take the world out of the world cup."
