To Asaad and Sohel and a couple of others, go check out the U19 rosters for the last WC as well. I'm telling ya, there is a serious risk that cricket might get marginalized to being a brown-only sport. The counter may be what Ish outlines - a series of 20/20 leagues making cricket lucrative enough to draw top athletes again from other ethnic groups.
On the same token, US, it its Cricket Association ever gets professional can be a strong player. The US born kids who are starting to now populate the leagues are VERY athletic and talented. Already the US team now has two US born players and that's without Cameron Mirza (Ian's student) breaking in.
