I lost some finals as well or else I would have had around 4 teams.

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

I may just get one or possibly two teams as a manager knowing that I have good squads for Jamaica (in CPL) & Barisal (in BOL) and Karachi (in Ahmad's PSL - and they are in the finals)

And a possible Irish Team

There are 15 teams, out of them, 11 have a direct qualification and 4 have to go through the qualifiers.... The best possible thing could be, that only 1 from the qualifiers have a chance to qualify for the main round. Or, Another team (from my Associates league) has a direct qualification making it 12 teams and then the top two teams from the qualifiers get a chance to play the big thing. Those 14 teams could be split in 2 groups of 7 teams each. . . . or you can simply remove the qualifiers and divide 16 teams into 4 groups of 4 teams with the top two from each group qualifiying to the quarter-finals. What do you think @VC the slogger?

16 is an overkill. I'd rather we have 10 direct teams from the leagues of Test playing nations and then 2 more from the qualifying round. 12 is more than enough for a cricketing CL. That can easily be divided into two groups of six each.

The qualifiers can be separated into groups of two - extra nation-based teams in one group and associates in the other. The top teams from each group qualify and that way it makes the qualification of at least one associate side a certainty. Seems fair enough I reckon..

Fair enough, I have also updated the CL XIV Table. But, if don't know, 16 teams split in 4 groups gives a fair enough chance to every team and the total number of matches which have to be played including quarter finals, semi finals and final is 31 (excluding warm-ups).

Whilst, 6 teams split in 2 groups for the qualifer makes 6 matches and than the groups make 30 matches and the total number becomes 36, excluding the play-offs or knockouts because I don't know how you plan to make'em (and warm-ups also). And most importantly, it doesn't give a fair chance to the teams. Think.

36 sounds way too simple after 47 in the CWG.

Well, there's lots of time to ponder about this. Lets see how things stand at the end of this month or the next before we bring this to a conclusion. I might consider it if there's not too many clashing local players in the extra nation-based teams.

South Africa should get a qualifier too Swirler League !

Oh, thanks for telling. I don't have the burden of managing an associate league anymore.

The canadian league could have had a qualification to the qualifiers of CL XIV.
