Are there not better use of our funds? Population to hit 400 million in 33 years or less and keep growing, only basic education and health will slow it down, lets get our priorities right

In American Baseball and Football, participation by U.S. and Canada makes the events 'world' or 'international'. I don't grudge a competition between China, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and U.A.E. being called 'International', since China alone would outmatch two North American countries in population!

Given their active participation I would not be surprised hearing a news that China has won Cricket World Cup.

Could anyone define the term 'Intenational Competition'?

@Kailash Singh - Yes I would enlighten you. International means between nations. Could be just two nations participating. There is no limit on how many nations need to be involved. Certainly does not need to include any particular nation - even if that nation may have fantastic notions about its own greatness and importance. Any more definitions required? Happy to oblige.
