Bharat,
We have gone through with this many times in the past in this forum. Will try to vent my frustration one more time. This is not against you or any spectator. You have not made the comment of BD matches had low turn out and that is the reason they wouldn't host BD. My gripe is against BCCI not against Indians. Supporting BCCI with lame excuses hold no water.

1st, BD didn't play India so it was bound to have a low turnout. Just like Zim - SL, SL - WI, Zim - WI. Why does BCCI host SL and WI and not us?
Why would they make a stupid uncalled for comment like that in the 1st place?

Just to honor ICCs obligations if England, Australia, SA, NZ, WI can host us, no matter how much we suck or how little revenue we bring in (yeck how much loss they incur), then why can't BCCI host us?

Reyme,
Yes we (BD), the BCB, would at least host Nepal if ICC had given them recognition no question asked. Even if that meant free admission for school boys and still the stadium remained empty. Just like any other civilized, sensible cricket board would do. This is nothing to do with money also as BCCI would put that spin. Your arguement worth a big fat zero. The only way BD or any other team can improve is to play with the big boys often. Playing with lower competition does not improve their own performance but only helps the lower team to improve and gain experience.
