Well, I would like to disagree. Though I am all in for auto-qualification of the host nation for any tournament but since this is not an option, I actually see the qualifying round to be just about right. It's Bangladesh's fault, to be fair. If you have a look at the rankings
here, we are currently 10th and below Ireland by some margin. So it's only fair to the other nations at the bottom who are close to each other wrt to the rankings, to be given a shot at the second round.
