It's a shame their young players will miss out.

Although its good news for Scotland and Ireland, as they are now in an easier group, I am disapointed all this could not have been sorted out BEFORE the tickets went on sale. All the games now appear to be sold out, and I have tickets for matches with AM1 and AM2, thinking I had covered both bases if Ireland qualified.

Its great to encourage minor nations into cricket, but by putting the tickets onsale before teams were finalised, most of this good work has been undone. How are genuine Irish, Scottish and Dutch cricket fans going to be able to support their teams? when all the tickets are already sold-out!

Thats not fair on the Zimbabwe team. Not everyone in the team supports the government. We should leave politics to politicians and sports to sportsmen.If this continues someone like David Beckham is going to campaign as Prime Minister.

Scotland is given a place. Ireland is there.
Wales not in the ICC. Why not? Irish, Scottish players play for 'England' test team, so Wales should participate in ODIs. I bet you wont publish this - you seem to censor comments regarding Wales. Why? This IS relevant to the news that Scotland is in.

Losing team like Zimbabwe is definitely not good for cricket. If we keep doing like this, then we will witness much more in the future. No Kidding
