2) BIGGER T20 WORLD CUP:

With the ICC purportedly using the T20 format for expanding the game globally, we might see football-sized world cups in T20 format in cricket too. As of now there are about 15 countries who can play top-level T20 Cricket and with more exposure and practice, in the next 20 years a 32 team World T20 is not unimaginable. With more countries getting better at T20, the ICC feels that T20 is the format where they can quickly become competitive. Teams can be divided into groups of 4 each and best two from each group proceed to a knock-out stage, similar to the World Cup in Football. This will not only give opportunities to the lesser nations, it will also lead to the game becoming truly popular. While it is true that some matches might be hopelessly one-sided, the fact that they will be of shorter duration will help in not making fans get disinterested. For the game to be truly global, the T20 format has be that vehicle.
