20/20 is not going to attract people. its test cricket which is real cricket and so FC cricket is the thing which should be used for globalisation. there should be more efforts made by the icc to spread cricket in those countries where test cricket has a chance of taking off like ireland, scotland, kenya, nepal than canada, usa where people wont have the time to follow their team for 5 days in a row. also, cricket should be spread like it is in its true form(test & fc cricket), it shouldnt be changed to be spread. if thats the case, y not reduce football to a game of just penalty strokes where the other 10 people besides the goalkeeper have a shoot at the goal.

u can c in stanford 20/20 where teams like bermuda, cayman islands, argentina were included and they struggled to make even 80 against domestic teams of west indies. now what help can that do in spreading the game there. it looks like doing more harm than good for the game in the associate countries. also, in nepal, where teams struggle to make even 150 in 50 overs, 20/20 will kill cricket completely over there.
