TOPIC:
While sports such as soccer actively promote global expansion, other sports such as cricket have stepped back, by excluding "minnow" countries from future ICC Cricket World Cups. Will actions such as this threaten the profitability and influence of cricket as a sport, or should the enhancement of competitiveness take precedence in the governance of sport? Discuss with reference to the challenges and advantages of both approaches. Have other sports used different strategies?
Limit discussion on Cricket and focus on smaller, local sports.
