Well its a good idea and I think may solve the cash problem.

However for minnows to develop into a better Test or ODi playing country two things are needed: money and exposure. T20 can solve the money problem. And regarding exposure ICC should have a FTP incorporating A teams and under 19 teams where top test playing nations will have to send and invite A teams regularly to Bangladesh, Zimbabwe(to face their A teams and under 19) and other associate teams like Ireland, Scotland, Kenya. Associate countries will have to tour each other as well. It can be arranged as a Championship over two years or so. That way the international teams will not be burnt out at the same time the development will go on as well
