Markkkkk's World Tours

[Markkkkk]

Cricket fans have witnessed one of the greatest overhauls in the history of sport. The ICC has recently been bought by tycoon Sportsbook phenomenon Markkkkk. As he is in charge he has the responsibility to set up, organize, run and overlook all tours. Who will suffer? Who will prevail? Will Afghanistan gain Test status? Will Zimbabwe ever achieve something post-Flowers? Well the one lady on the site ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Markkkkk's World Tours™.

So what this is is I will post here saying X will be touring Y for however many tests or ODIs or whatever. Sign ups will be open for those teams and you will post your squad (in terms of A sides I will post them) and then we will start the tour. Once teams have been given to people they will have first choice to retain their team. More details will follow in the next posts.​

The Netherlands, Afghanistan and Ireland awarded Test Cricket

The ICC have announced at a conference earlier today that 3 nations, The Netherlands, Afghanistan and Ireland have all been awarded Test status. The chairman, Markkkkk, has stated that he is delighted to give test opportunities to more nations and is hoping that this will increase the popularity of cricket among smaller nations. Ireland have been an associate powerhouse as of late and have most of their first XI playing county cricket. Afghanistans' rapid rise through cricket and recently their World T20 campaign is enough to warrant them Test status and are hoping they can continue to kill a few giants. The Netherlands have been for the past 8 years one of the leaders among the associate world and have thus been awarded Test status with the hope that cricket can spread throughout the community and build up a bigger cricketing fanbase.​
