Associate members's ODI Program

The ICC have released a list of all the ODI matches to be played by the Associate members between now, and the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies. I pinched the link courtesy of Bensti's post on Big Cricket where he points out that there should also be a match between Kenya and Holland before their Intercontinental match. I believe this will be on either Sunday 26th or Monday 27th March after the team arrive back from Bangladesh. There is unfortunately no mention of the rumoured tour by Kenya to Pakistan later in the year. Good to see so many matches between the Associates, but there still need to be more played between them and the full members, and those on the ranking's. If Kenya can have a good showing in Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, the Irish and Scots play well against England and Pakistan, or Holland against Sri Lanka, this will put pressure on the full members to include the Associates in more series. I would like to see the full members take the step of including Associates in tri, or quad series when they are hosting other Test teams. It would do wonders for improving the standard of the game, and I believe most crowds would still come to watch, especially as the Associates became more competitive.
