Would not be a financially viable option. The Caribbean islands are in a close proximity, lower air travel cost, easier for the team to stay together. Maybe ICC should do a one off series with World Associate XI vs Australia/ South Africa..
This is would be my favourite squad then:
1) Willaim Porterfield (C) (IRE)
2) Kyle Coetzer (SCO)
3) Ed Joyce (IRE)
4) Samiullah Shenwari (AFG)
5) Ryan ten Doeschate (NED)
6) Shaiman Anwar (UAE)
7) Kevin O'Brien (IRE)
8) Andrew Balbirnie (WK) (IRE)
9) Shapoor Zadran (AFG)
10) George Dockrell (IRE)
11) Josh Davey (SCO)
