The Associate Cricket Boards will have to reach out to Test playing nations Boards to send teams to play them more often. These T 20 series/ODI series can be outside the FTP program and ICC recognises them as official International games. With this approach there is development of the game .
Secondly, ICC should allow Associate Teams to import players from Test playing nations for a 2 or 3 year stint, may not be the ones who have represented their country, but domestic players and giving them an opportunity to represent an adopted country at International Level. The experience brought by the player impors could be valuable to the other members of the team

I have been constantly tweeting on X too on such topics.
Looking forward to see the sun rising on Associate teams

Hello Kannan

Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately, these points have been discussed since the beginning of the last decade and progress has almost been non-existent. We’ll have to see what the future holds in the current media rights cycle until 2031.

Thanks and regards,
Czarsportz Admin

The Associate nations should urge ICC to have the Full Member Nations play T 20/ODI so that these players can improve upon their game. Not only it is good for the development of world cricket, but also these teams have the experince to compete against Top ranked teams. The Full Member Nations could field multiple teams and all the games should be recognised as T20/ODI internations. By this ICC not only generates more revenue, but also help ugrade cricket infrastructure at the Associate Nations home grounds.
Another thought is allow Associate teams to import 2-3 players to represent their nation at international level so that the experience the imported players bring assists with the performance of the Associate teams
