Deutrom slams ICC as Ireland omitted from 2015 World Cup
The International Cricket Council (ICC) yesterday confirmed the next World Cups will be restricted to full Test countries and Ireland would have to qualify for the 2019 event.
“The conclusion can only be reached that the decisions made (today) were based purely on the protection of the existing membership entitlements for full members and the commercial imperative that a ten-team event delivers nine guaranteed matches for India and England,” said Cricket Ireland’s Warren Deutrom.
