Yes , you are right that decision of ICC is wrong. ICC should choose UAE for the World Cup hosting. USA have no professional staff to take care of pitch and in USA there is no trend of cricket. But that is politics and USA want to earn money by this World Cup and ICC collaborated with USA government and that is bad decision for big teams. New Zealand and Pakistan are out of the World Cup while USA and Scotland are in the World Cup.Mist Probably USA and Scotland will lose in super 8 and they will not qualify for Semi final. When I think that , Pakistan and New Zealand should be in the super 8. Tournament will be more interesting and enjoyable.Pakistani team played bad but Pakistani team has potential to win against any team ,so Pakistani team is more dangerous than USA and Scotland.

The problem with USA was that the weather conditions were not good, and the preparations were not done properly. If they can work on these aspects, then USA can become the cash cow for ICC. The India vs Pakistan match alone $15 million in the form of gate collection. If the same match is hosted in UAE, then the most we can expect is $2 million. On top of that, I don't have a good impression about the UAE. It is known as the global hub of match fixing, and criminals like Dawood Ibrahim are often spotted during international matches.
