I have a different prespective on that. If we talk about Ireland it's a much developed country with infrastructure of football and other sports already there. But if we see country like Afghanistan or alike there is hardly any infrastructure there. Such factors must also be kept in mind while distributing funds to associate teams.

I don't agree with this argument. In that case Afghanistan should be provided with a smaller fund, as the cost of living is way below what it is in Ireland. And I don't understand what does it mean to have infrastructure in football and rugby. We are talking about cricket here. Are you going to deny them the funds, giving the excuse of a few existing football stadiums? OK.. leave aside Ireland. What about countries like Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Namibia? These are also poor countries like Afghanistan. So why should there be any special treatment just for Afghanistan?

Maybe because Afghanistan is going through a tough time right now? Call of the other countries mentioned have their own cricket board and have their own sponsors. But we all know Afghanistan went to play the T20 world cup depending on the money of Muhammad nabi himself. So I think if any team needs financial support right now it is Afghanistan.
