Kevin O’Brien’s blistering century helped Ireland beat England in the 2011 World Cup.
Ireland & Afghanistan awarded Test status by International Cricket Council IRELAND and Afghanistan have been granted Test status by the International Cricket Council. It increases the number of countries competing at the top level of international cricket to 12. They are the first admissions since Bangladesh gained Test status in 2000. The two countries, who already have one-day and Twenty20 international status, have enjoyed
notable successes against Test-playing nations in global competitions in recent years. Ireland, who are 12th in the ICC one-day rankings, beat England in the 2011 World Cup, four years after a shock victory over Pakistan in the same competition. Afghanistan, currently 10th in the rankings, drew an ODI series with T20 world champions West Indies this month.
The changes were passed unanimously at the ICC full council meeting at The Oval. Ireland captain William Porterfield says it will be a “special day” if he leads his side out for their first Test. Wicketkeeper Gary Wilson described it as a “historic day”, writing on Twitter: “Years worth of work feels like it has been recognised. Here’s to the beginning.”

Blatter described Webb as “the most breathtaking scoundrel of all” THE disgraced former president of the Cayman Islands Football Association (CIFA) and the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), Jeffrey Webb, has been described as “the most breathtaking scoundrel of all” by sacked FIFA president Joseph Sepp Blatter. Blatter pointed the finger at Webb during an exchange with football journalist and author David Conn last year for his book on the corruption scandal “The Fall of the House of FIFA”. The deposed world football boss said he believed Webb could have been the next FIFA president and
that he was “a good person” and “a strong man” until the corruption, which Blatter still claims he knew nothing about, was exposed. In an extract from Conn’s book, which was published in the Guardian, he said that when the CONCACAF integrity report, identifying the alleged frauds of the former secretary-general and president Chuck Blazer and Trinidad’s Austin “Jack” Warner was published, Webb had presented himself as the president for a new era of decency. “Jeffrey Webb had tears coming down his face, saying: ‘I am humbled, I accept it; I promise I will do that,’” Blatter told Conn.
