Great contest
The ICC T20 World Cup has started. Teams like India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and England as expected started on a high note, but it is great to see the way Associate teams (non Test-playing teams) are performing and giving a tough time to Test playing nations. I must appreciate the ICC for nurturing Associate teams.The ICC has been doing hard work for a very long time and now results have started showing. It is great to see teams like the UAE, USA, Netherlands, Scotland, even Nepal doing very well. I am impressed with the way they are performing. All of them have improved a lot in just a few years. This is just the beginning.I am sure Associate teams are going to make the competition tough for others. This shows teams like Nepal, USA, UAE and others have come fully-prepared for the tournament, but I am also eagerly waiting for Feb.15, when India and Pakistan will compete against each other. As usual, the India-Pakistan match is going to be very interesting. The entire world comes to a standstill when the two teams play against each other. Since the match is on Sunday, I have also decided to stay at home, just for the clash.Khaja Ziauddin,By email
