Wow. Find it interesting seeing cricket played in countries where cricket isn't popular.

But as per [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] Pakistan already consistently beats them and thats how we got to number one in the T20 rankings and improved to fifth in ODI rankings.

And the ICC is shrinking the World Cup even more...
They have steadily worked there way up to Division 2 of the world cricket leagues.
I have a friend who lives there on a diplomatic posting and he says cricket is rising in popularity. Rugby league is the clear #1 sport they worship, but volleyball (very simple equipment is the big plus) and cricket are played, with cricket the one growing.
They don't really have the infrastructure or population to go much further up the charts imo.
Places like Nepal have started to beat them.
