tbf world cup qualification has fixed slots for each confederation. It’s way harder for india to outperform japan, korea, middle east countries etc than curacao to beat other caribbean nations (us, mexico, canada automatically qualified from concacaf)

No India cares much more about cricket that’s the sport nothing else is as lucrative or really developed super well

That’s what I thought. They’d have to be able to find players if they really wanted to. The math is just good x

With a population like that? They don’t have any athletic people? Idk what cricket is and if it needs athletic people, but a population that big can’t find a good talent pool? That’s crazy
