I am, however, all for a qualification route to the T20 WC that will involve a large number of cricket nations (Full, Associates + more). An example would be to take 24 teams, split into groups of 6 where each team can play each other multiple times home and away and the top 4 from each team qualify to the T20 World cup. this will give countries like AFG, ARG, NAM etc. matches with the big teams and help boost cricket excitement around the globe.

it's not about a T20 competition of national teams....it's of professional franchises/clubs ... something like the champions league (e.g. dhaka vs. mumbai)....this way may be IPL can be International Premier League instead of Indian Premier League ..
