West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) is in dire need of some cash. On the other hand, International Cricket Council (ICC) really wishes that cricket can become some popular in North America. Finally, BCCI promised WICB that if WICB voted for the Asian block about organizing World Cup Cricket 2011 then BCCI would help WICB to raise money. So, the best solution for every one is now that India and West Indies play some games in USA and Canada later this year. Now, ICC has given its nod to this idea and later this year cricket fans will have something to remember in USA and Canada.
The game of cricket now brings most revenue from India and BCCI is so eager to get richer that its bosses have no time to think about the complain of the players that too many matches are being played. As a cricket fan, I am happy that India and West Indies are playing in USA and Canada and like me millions of fans of South Asia are excited too. However, burnout of players is something we should not neglect. I suggest to ICC that they stage mini world cup cricket to USA and Canada soon.

It would really be very interesting if mini world cup could be organized in USA or Canada. Canada has already participated in the last world cup cricket as a first team from North American zone. Cricket is also getting popularity in USA. So these two countries can be the best choice for ICC to popularize cricket in North America. The countries of this zones are rich in financially. So the number of investment in cricket will be increased substantially if cricket gets much popularity in this area.
India and West Indies can play a vital role in the expansion of cricket in this reason.
