The ICC is extremely being short sighted by not supporting Associate teams and ensuring they retain a level of professional skill necessary to compete at the level of full ICC Members. ICC need to expand the membership of cricket playing nations and get more fans and viewership. India need to realize that it has great power and that it has a responsibility to promote cricket among Associate nations and encourage other nations to follow.
I would reduce Test cricket matches and introduce more ODI and Twenty20 matches between Full Members and Associate teams in between World Cups and encourage more revenue sharing so Associate cricket teams can use that money to build a domestic audience and encourage more domestic support for cricket. I would also introduce regional championships such as continental cups like FIFA does and promote cricket. Encourage Canada, USA, and other Latin countries to play cricket and promote it. Do the same thing for Africa and Southeast Asia such as Indonesia and Malaysia.
