Cricket boards from Scotland and the Netherlands have formally criticized the International Cricket Council for recent structural changes to the men's 50-over World Cup. While BBC Sport highlights the board's characterization of the process as 'disrespectful,' Cricinfo emphasizes the broader concerns regarding how these format shifts will affect the pathway for Associate member nations.
