Most countries in the world have a cricket team. The eight 'main' teams are England, Pakistan, Australia, India, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, West Indies and South Africa. This is the world division one. Division 2 consists of teams such as Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and the Netherlands. All teams in division 2 get a chance to play in the World Cup. There is many divisions. For example Italy have just started and are in world division 7. I don't know exactly how many teams are playing professional cricket but it is a lot more than you think.
