The people working in your council need not be great mathematicians, brilliant statisticians, or rocket scientists to explain why despite putting in so much effort, cricket is still limited to only two dozen countries who have a half-decent team to play the sport. To promote cricket, you rightly target the nations that are willing to play the sport and give them assistance in doing so.
