Do you think its right to include a player's matches played for Asia/World XI into his "International" record?

Question

Don't you think an "international" match should be considerd the one which is played between two "nations" (countries)?

Answer 1

you certainly ask a lot of cricket questions. answer to your question - in my opinion - is yes. he is play an international match against players who are of a similar and better class. It is as much a challenge and a real match as any other first class cricket.

Answer 2

Yes of course!! The matches......i mean the Asia IX, Africa XI, World XI are also conducted by ICC.....so the records should definately be added....

Answer 3

I agree with you, international cricket should be only the matches between two countries.

Answer 4

You are very moody!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Well I, like the ICC, don't really care about ODIs so those records can stay as they are. However the super 'Test' between Australia and the World XI from 2005 should never have had Test status and if the ICC had any sense they'd rescind their decision. The players lacked motivation even Graeme Smith, captain of the World XI, said his side lost 20% of their motivation by not having national pride to play for.

There's also the fact the more competitive matches between England and the Rest of the World in 1970 had there Test status stripped so it's double standards by the ICC.

Answer 6

yes why not.. this match playeed under the umbrella of ICC

Answer 7

No, it is not OK.  If we go by the logic of include these matches in record than why not IPL matches.

Answer 8

The Asian XI, African XI and World XI matches should NOT be included in the player's statistics / records.

They are ceremonial matches with only notional value attached to them. They are not "International" matches !

Answer 9

yes, Asia , Worls XI matches are also conducted by ICC, so its absolutely right to include in the records!
