I was talking about non-test teams, but that is another example. India are replacing the national A-teams with the champions of South Africa's main first class tournament though.avk2love said:

I think we need a way of allowing some of the lesser nations a chance against the test sides. But if Holland , Denmark , Bermuda , USA, Ireland , Scotland , Namibia , Kenya , Canada were able to play recognised 5 day cricket against eachother it would give them the chance to eventually develop into a test side in the future.
Bangladesh would be too good for that lot and should continue as they are (When do they next play the West Indies. If they're going to beat a test side at the moment it will be the Windies). Kenya's run in the last world cup (it was Kenya wasn't it) shows that they have some pretty decent players.
We have to give the new boys a chance. And playing recognised cricket would give them a chance to shine.

You do. Cricinfo covers it. The ICCs website covers it. We have a thread about it stickied in this forum. You just chose to ignore it.ronaldo7777 said:

I think some of the stronger non-Test nations such as Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Namibia and Kenya should be touring Test nations and playing against their First Class sides. They could go over before the start of a season and give those sides some warm up games. Especially in a longer form of the game like 3 or 4 day games.
