afghanistan possibly in terms of talent, performance, how fast they've improved but ireland has to be #1 because they're one of the top associates on results, but what separates them is their cricket culture and structure. once they get full membership and start playing tests they'll soon be on par with at least teams like BD, sri lanka, NZ, zimbabwe etc. they also want it and are willing to put in the work to get themselves to the next level.
