South Africa are actually a good example. What allowed them to come straight back to international cricket so easily was the strength of their domestic system. It is the training of cricketers at young ages, where it garners the most benefit. Trying to beat a Test side into shape will always have incomparably small effects.

Similarly, Sri Lanka didn't just take up cricket in 1975, they had been developing for decades before that. However, that exact thing could almost be said of Bangladesh, who didn't have a proper domestic competition until they became a Full Member of the ICC.

The ICC's decision making process is best left for them to explain, but the fact is that the respective Test debuts did not exactly come about at the same point in each member's timeline.

I am guessing Scotland were pretty upset about the abandonment. They don't get often a chance to play against a Test nation.

Tomorrow there is an ODI planned against the Netherlands in Glasgow.

Must be something about playing north of the border as England seem to play rain affected games against Scotland (at the Grange?)

There was rain today, but it seems the match will go ahead for a possible 30 overs match.

The match has started and Bangladesh might have wished it hadn't started.

Currently the Netherlands need 32 runs of 27 balls and that's reachable.

I see the Netherlands doesn't have an ODI ranking. Maybe they will after this win?

What are the requirements for an ODI ranking actually?

ZexyZahid added 5 Minutes and 46 Seconds later...

Based from what I am reading, if the Netherlands will win this match, they should gain ODI status. They currently have won exactly 60% against Associate countries. In the reference it says 'more than 60% versus other Associates'. So if it doesn't happen today, the Netherlands will have to beat another Associate to gain ODI status.

Once an Associate ODI Country has played at least 10 matches, including both qualifying matches against other Associate ODI Countries and ODIs against Full Members (highlighted above as Total Matches), in the 3-4 year qualifying period, it has the opportunity to be promoted to the Reliance Mobile ICC ODI Championship Table.

To gain this promotion, the Associate ODI Country must either:
achieve two wins in ODIs against Full Members, or
achieve one win in an ODI against a Full Member and also have won more than 60% of qualifying matches versus other Associates (as shown on the Associate / Affiliate ODI Ranking Table).

Barresi hits a four and the Netherlands have won by 6 wickets.

Now I want to know whether they will be ranked on the ODI Championship Table or not.

It would have been better if Bangladesh didn't play against these Associates. The only thing that has happened is that their rankings has slipped down.

Luckily the match against Scotland was rained off, but the Netherlands are ranked higher then Scotland, so Bangladesh might still have a win against them.

I was right some posts earlier.

Here is the confirmation from Cricinfo:

'This victory also qualifies the Netherlands for the ICC ODI ranking table, along with other associates Ireland and Kenya.'

There are now 13 teams ranked on the ODI rankings table.
