Not strictly true. Although it's not a massive sport like it is in India, it's 3rd behind fitba and rugby in terms of levels of participation in Scotland. On any given Saturday in Edinburgh, Lothians and Fife there are over 80 teams playing in the East of Scotland Cricket Association, probably a considerable amount in Glasgow and environs, a national league structure and teams up north as well. I agree that the World Cup can only help levels of participation too. I agree that reducing the number of teams in the next World Cup is a backward step in trying to promote cricket worldwide.
