Pick a nation, any nation!

Post by NPD-PowerBug » Fri May 05, 2023 8:41 am

NOTE: THIS IS MERELY AN OPINION POLL. There is no guarantee of the winning vote or any vote entering FTP. We are just interested to hear which of these nations is the most preferred amongst our current user base.

Lots of discussion lately about new nations, so we thought to take it to a poll just to gauge where the interest lies. If you don't want anymore nations in FTP that's fine, you don't have to vote in the poll, this is just to see which nation(s) are favoured if such a move was to be considered.

Use the comments to make your case for any of the above choices :)

We laugh but Italy are in the European Qualifiers final 7, where 2 teams make the 2024 T20 CWC. Ireland Scotland would be the frontrunners, but Austria, Denmark, Italy, Jersey and Germany will be hoping to cause an upset or two and sneak in!

If/When Afghanistan come in I might run a sweepstake on how many rename requests there are to a variation of Rashid Khan

I chose Nepal first but then switched to Oman as its the only one of those countries where I actually have played cricket.

While we are at it why not rename some and have 20 available nations using the current ranked ODI sides with the ICC.

with the 18 we have and the 6 in this list we have all top 20 ODI and Top 22 T20
Only Kenya and Bermuda are not in there, they are 28th and 31st respectively currently
They have decent support here and dont want to switch countries at this stage if ever

I think adding Afghanistan is love overdue, they are ranked top 10 in T20 and ODI for a long time now and have automatically qualified for ICC World Cup 2023.

I'd pick no Nation as the 19th, if it was to replace one of the current Nations as the 18th, then that would be Afghanistan.

Which country are suggesting it replaces?
