LOL dude.. you are comparing apples with oranges.

In the Olympic games (and in 99% of the other sports), not even a single non-citizen is allowed in to the playing XI. And in any sport other than cricket, they don't allow a team to be comprised 100% of foreigners.

Sergiu Toma became a naturalized Emirati citizen in 2013, and won the medal in 2016. That is not the case with their cricket players. None of them have Emirati citizenship.

If Sergiu Toma represented Moldova in 2012 Olympics and you claim that within an year he got an Emirati Citizenship, the players in the Cricket team are playing for a long time in the team which means they are settled their for years and it is not that they are taking different players for every series they play, if giving them a citizenship will make a drastic change then what is the logic of all these debates.

Lets say hypothetically if ICC comes up with a stipulation that every player need to have citizenship to be in the team, do you really think that it will be hard for those GCC Kings to give everyone that are playing a citizenship  .

England women versus Indian women ODI match is going on right now. England batted first and posted a total of 227/7 in 50 overs. I really don't think this is going to be enough for England to defend. India is currently batting and they have scored 45/1 in 8 overs. If India can keep wickets in hand they will be able to win this match easily in my opinion. I think India is on the right course till now in this match.

Yes India is playing very nice game we can see.  If India can play this match like this then they will have no problem winning this match.  India's Shafali Verma was dismissed for 1 run off 6 balls.  This match has been heavily favored so far.  Let's see what happens next.  Till then we have to watch the whole match.  Who will win this match today?

England Women team gave India a target of 227 runs which I didn't consider reliable for winning. The India Women team has shown prudence. They batted only 20 overs and managed to score 105 runs with losing 2 wickets. India women team can easily win this match.

India Women need 95 runs in 25 overs and most favorable thing for them is they have 8 wickets in hand. Opener Smriti Mandhana is not out on 60 runs. India women team is improving day by day and if they keep moving like this they will meet big 3 of women cricket.

It should be noted that if these countries do need to give citizenship to the players, they will at least have something to worry about. My opinion is that at least there will be something at stake in this situation. It is true that there is nothing at stake at the moment, and these countries are just keeping the players to play for them as a full-time job at the moment.

Imagine, if they give citizenship to these players and they don't do well on the field, the country will have to take responsibility for their failure to perform. And I really don't like the idea of playing players from other countries in the team without anything at stake. Just because they have money doesn't mean they can do anything.

This is going to be an easy win for India as I expected. Right now Indian women need only 30 runs in 78 balls and they have 7 wickets in hand. No way India is going to love this one from here on, right?  There has to be some kind of miracle done in favor of England women for them to win this match. The third wicket partnership was really big for India,  and even though that partnership was broken right now, I don't think India is going to lose.

26 runs in 10 overs and 7 wickets in hands. Really feel for Smriti Mandhana who was out on 91 runs. Have to admit that both there batting and bowling is too good today. First they restricted England to 227 and then batted superbly to chase this target.

Yes Sriti Mandhana is giving big role for Indian women team not only just today it was also seen on previous t20 match specially in 2nd match  she missed century for a few runs . And if I talk about the bowling side then most of Indian female bowlers did well performance except Pooja Vastrakar. I think if she had done well England team could have been restricted to less runs, but anyway the win today was due to Indian women and I want to congratulate them.

Smriti Mandhana is a very important player for the Indian women's team. She is also a very stable performer. She is also the most consistent player in the current Indian squad in my opinion. Really sad to see her not getting the century. But anyway India had a really good outing in the first ODI against England women. It was a really easy win for them. Only one more win would do it for India-W

Except Shefali Verma and Deol every one else batted well yesterday. Yastika Bhatia is a very aggressive opener and Mandana did the right thing to allow her to bat more in the early overs. The Indian women teams commitment on the field was also good if compared to the last T20 match. The pitch was completely flat for spinners and Indian spinners did the right thing to ball straight.

Sriti Mandhana is performing very well in India women team. If you look at her performance the matter becomes clear. She did not perform very well in the first match of the T20 series where she was able to score 23 runs of 20 balls. Later in the 2nd match she was able to big score of 79 runs of 53 balls. She couldn't perform well again in the 3rd match. Again in the first match of the ODI series, she keep a good performance where she managed to score 91 runs of 99 balls. Overall she is doing well.

I think it's India bowling that the job yesterday. They restricted England to 227 in 50 overs and that made the job easy for the batting lineup. Smriti Mandhana was player of the match for his 91 runs innings on 99 balls. There are still 2 more ODIs to come , India definitely are much relax for upcoming game.

Indian bowling was on top as Goswami and Deepti both were amazing and never allow English team to have any attack which give them good target to chase I am feeling things are going to be change in positive for them as now they have this second win in this tour, but this one is surely big and good as they completely outclass home team in batting and bowling.

After early lost in batting Smriti and Yastika Bhatia done good partnership which give good foundation to this team for having to chase this score easily Harmanpreet Kaur play a good captain knock which was surely required from her now we have some good entertainment in this series in coming matches.

I would say that the women's team is where the men's team were a decade ago. Back then, India were the underdogs whenever they used to tour England or Australia. But now the situation has changed and the last time India toured England, they were considered as the favorites. Women's team hasn't reached there yet. But with the BCCI focusing more on the women's game and resources being made available for the players, there is a good chance that the Indian women's team will also become dominant like their male counterparts.

[MatthewLM]

If we see most of the players can play well in ODIs because here they can bat a lot of time and play with time here I think they can do well especially in T20 they mostly don't play well at all.  So I think everyone likes this game

[Hamza2424]

I think now the trend has been changed as I'm not perfectly sure about it still I'm hopeful as according to my analysis the people are more interested in the T20 matches as compared to the ODI matches and if thats true then i feel so sad as the ODI matches showes the strength of the team more professionally as the strategy and the Line up syatem Slow and consistent Struggle. Lets well personally i do like ODI but T20 Hype is on mext levels.

Classical fans are going to be unhappy about T20 format, but let's admit that the shorter format is far more popular than either ODI or test formats. If the majority of the fans prefer T20, then there is not much the ICC can do about it. Even the advertisement rates per 10 second slots on TV are higher for the T20 matches when compared to the ODI matches involving the same teams. For the short to medium term, ODI and test can co-exist along T20, but in the long run only one format is going to survive.

Once upon a time all three formats of cricket were very popular but a lot of things can be lost with the passage of time. Only that will be survived which are loved by current or future generations. In T20 format a game can be completed with in very short of time. Which is not possible in other formats. There are also some peculiarities. Time has a big contribution to make the game of football so popular today. Here the game ends in 90 minutes. Test cricket or ODI requires a whole day or more. Considering the overall aspect, everyone's eyes are on the T20 format of cricket.
