If not Full Member status than atleast Test matches for about four years were in everyone can see their performance and gauge them If the belong there than lets make them Full Member status or bake to the intercontinental trophy same applies to Canada or Kenya.

I think the only solution is a multiple tier approach to international cricket. ICC have already started this with World Cricket Leagues 1-8 (9th soon). ICC needs to expand the idea of the league to include Test & T20I matches, make a team perform in all 3 forms of the game to be promoted. ICC WCL needs to also include Test playing nations. A lot of people state that Test Cricket should be limited to the best, and teams should PROVE they are the best. I agree, but to do this there needs to be an audition, not a political decision. A promotion & relegation system will ensure that the best teams play each other at the elite division of cricket. If Ireland are good enough to stay ranked in the top 11 then they get to play Test Cricket for a following 2-4 years. I recommend a 2-4 year competition for 6 team tiers, home & away (2-3 tests, 3-5 ODI, 1-3 T20I) with:
* A Final in each tier
* T1 Playoffs (5th&8th)
* T2 Playoffs (11th & Assoc 2nd)
* Prom's (7th & Assoc 1st) & Releg's (6th & 12th)

Ireland has a better chance of winning a test match than what Bangladesh had 9 years ago or Zimbabwe had 17 years ago. They are already facing a major problem due migration of their key players to England.
