At present China and Korea are qualifying teams while Japan and India are qualifying individual athletes. Bhavani needs to stay above Kazakhstan and Hong Kong and hope that both China and Korea do qualify team. If either of those teams fail to qualify a team, we will have to rely on Asian qualifying tournament to qualify for Olympics

didn't understand how points were scored but still it was amazing to see her come back from behind and give a fight before losing by the narrowest of margins.

Bhavani Devi wins her R32 match as well to reach R16. Amazing performance by her. A big shout out to @Prashanth for tracking her all these years.

Full draw for AFC World Cup qualifiers- Second Round: Group A: Group B: Group C: Group D: Group E: Group F: Group G: Group H: All the group winners and 4 best runner-up will advance to third round.

What will happen if Qatar wins their group? Their spot in third round goes to 5th best runner-up from all groups? or runner-up from their group qualify directly as winner of group? or Qatar plays even the third round?

Double trap is no longer part of Olympic program.

It means you are not in. You need to become a member of ICC to take part in official cricket. But becoming a member should not be hard, if they really tried. ICC, and all other federations, like to inflate their numbers, so grant out membership very easily.

Tell that to IOC.

I have zero idea about Slovakian cricket team. A simple google search revealed it.

Slovakia has a cricket club and have taken part in European T20 tournaments. ICC has 105 member nations while IIHF has 76 members. Also, I have nothing against Ice Hockey and believe it deserves its place in Olympics. I am just fed up of the hypocrisy practiced when Cricket or any other sport not popular in Europe or USA is derided as useless game played by handful of nations not even worthy to have its own World Cup while sports played in Europe are the pinnacle of human race.

I think it is fair to say that those teams would lose to an amateur club team from Slovakia.

Afghanistan and Netherlands are easily in top 15 teams in Cricket. If by some magic, ICC got some brains and we had a decent size WC of 16 teams, we would have more non-Commonwealth nations in WC.

Afghanistan/Netherlands were not part of British Empire but we are talking about emotions and perceptions not facts.

Same way Ice Hockey, Water Polo or Handball are Olympic sports even though nobody outside of Europe and USA/Canada play it.

I don't think it would have been practical for him to take part in so many events in the cycle. It was basically one of the two: Either World Junior Championships or Commonwealth Championships. Federation must have thought it would be better to keep him with the senior team. Hence, I think he will participate in Asian Juniors only if he has a horrible Worlds, otherwise he would skip them as well.

He has atleast two Gold level events in the current period: Worlds in September and Asian Juniors in October.

Wrong comparison. Those lifts of Mirabai came at 48-49 kgs. Better comparison would be: her total of 182 kgs would have placed her at 6th position in last Junior World Championship and in top 30 in last Senior World Championship.
