Which international cricket team has play only one international game?
the only minnow team which has played lot of international games is Sri Lanka and now we can rank them equal to Pak and India but just on sub continent pitches just due to two spinners they have , their non technical batters and incompetent pace bowlers will keep their minnow stature retained intact outside the sub continent, i mean they will never be able to win a test match or ODI series in SA or Aus , so i would say Sri lanka is the only minnow , who has played and won lots of times in sub continent, they even won a world cup in sub continent ! other than them , i rate all minnows almost equal, one match or more matches , doesn't matter !
Hasan Raza (Pakistan)(Born on 11 march,1982)At 14 years 227 days he was the youngest Test debutant and scored 27 from 48 balls against zimbawe in 1996–1997.He was only 14 years and 233 days old when he scored 11 against Zimbabwe at Quetta in 1996-97 in his debut one day international.His career stats :He is a wonderful timer of the ball and a treat to watch, but has been unable to reproduce his fluency or strokeplay on the international stage.Frustrated with the PCB, Hasan made a decision that has seemingly ended all hopes of his return to international cricket as he joined the unofficial Indian Cricket League (ICL). In his first season with the ICL he was the leading run scorer.

Why don't France, Germany and other EU countries play Cricket ?
Football is more popular and weather. Cricket requires a lot of equipment, and you need a lot of skill to play cricket. All you need to play football is something to kick about. The weather makes it difficult to play cricket year around, hence the popularity of football and football being the main sport. Cricket in most European countries is still virtually unknown. For example Netherlands has a team but cricket is not even in the top 20 sports. People have no clue what cricket is let alone they have a cricket team.
Is it true that only commonwealth countries can play cricket?
There is no such rule. If the United States or for that matter any country wants to participate at Test level cricket, they have to compete against existing Test nations which play cricket at the highest level. There are no barriers to where they can reach -it's just that they're not good enough to play against Test teams right now. And please stop calling India a Commonwealth country. I take strong exception to that. Only the Australians, Candians and NZ people can take any real pride in being a part of the Commonwealth (because of their British descent). For Indians, the Commonwealth holds no meaning at all -except for the Government of India which maintains its affiliation to the Crown, as a gesture of goodwill -for ornamental purposes that's all. And also the 1.5 million Indian expats in the UK -to the rest of India, the British Commonwealth is as dead as the dodo.
Dubai may be!!UAE was part of a world cup 96, post that I have not seen them play in any major events of ICC, should that qualify as a country which currently that doesn’t play the cricket.. Then yes!!It currently hosts games for Pakistan, which has become their second home..Sharjah’s Cricket stadium is one of those grounds which has hosted many number of International matches.. 250+The stadium also gave us some of the best cricketing moments in the history of the game..Javed Mianded’s last ball six against IndiaSachin’s Desert StormSanath’s Mammoth 190, to Rout india to their biggest defeatAnd many more…
Cricket is a game played by 22 fools and watched by 22000 fools. George Bernard Shaw said this once.Now the number of fools who watch this stupid game is increased to billions, thanks to India. Cricket is played in few countries because many other countries follow better sports like football, hockey etc.Cricket is a strange competition in which even after playing for five days they have no results. That means it’s a miraculous sport in which even after spending almost 40 hours on the field there is always a possibility of draw or no result.George was liberal in his comment. According to me only 3 fools are making billions people fool. One is the pitcher, second is hitter and third one is fielder. Its funny that upto the time the ball is pitched no fielder can move to left or right, i.e. he can only move towards or away from the batsman. No other sport is this much of lazy people.But the biggest drawback cricket has is that it is not fair for both the teams. The toss (a chance) plays such a big role that it affect the outcome of the game directly. The shortest format lasts for almost three hours that too if climate is merciful. Time is money, and noone wants to waste it for a game which could result in a “no result”. Also cricket is full of uncertainty and is most easy to fix matches because players can blame the atmosphere, toss and sometimes the pitch.P.S.- these are just my views. No disrespect to any player or sport but I dont think cricket deserve this much respect as much it is being given in our country.
Do you know how many people play club cricket in your country?
Like isn't the right phrase here. For an instance i admire T20s and commonly I even like them than scan matches which bore the hell outta me(from time to time). Likeness relies on quite a lot of explanations. So the correct word should be "value" or merit. I would possibly not watch test matches always but I nonetheless value it as the most honored, respected and the influenced layout in cricket and adore it! "Is it only persons who've certainly not performed cricket that worth/advantage T20 more than proper cricket?" My answer is sure. If there's a fan who says T20 is the fine and say exams and ODIs are worthless then he is no one however a 15 minute flash within the pan sort of fan who might have born after the formation of T20s and ignorant of the real value of the game called cricket and it's popularity . He needs to be schooled. That being mentioned, I disagree with you calling T20 shouldn't be correct cricket. Certain it's no longer prestigious as ODIs and tests however nonetheless some variety of a structure nonetheless which requires one of a kind set of potential! However yes it must remember as much less priceless than the capabilities you must master in ODIs and tests anyway! It is not that they've not ever played the game. You do not have got to play cricket to be a passionate fan. There are some enthusiasts who would have by no means touched a cricket bat however nonetheless love the sport. So in my final estimation the enthusiasts who love and worth T20 more than assessments and ODIs, have no idea the true meaning of cricket and haven't any proposal in regards to the value of this sport!
