Bangladesh: Newest Test Nation

[GoEagles]

With all the news of the west indies arrival into australia for the test match and 1 day series, nobody has mentioned anything about Bangladesh playing their debut test match against India. I followed through CricInfo and the local newspaper for each days progress and the signs for them were quite good early on.

But the point of this discussion is does everyone think 10 test playing sides is enough or should the ICC expand it to 12 and allow Kenya, UAE or Holland join? I hope Australia adds a test match with Bangladesh the next time they are in the sub continent.

I don't have a problem with the ICC admitting 100 countries provided they are organised well and can be at least semi competitive with the big 7/8 countries. Otherwise countries like Australia and Sth Africa won't bother to play them because the games would be fizzers and there would be little money in it.

Mind you the tv rights in Bangladesh may be lucrative.
