I feel that once Afghanistan and Ireland join the Test playing nations UAE will be next in line - not due to the quality of their cricket, this was their first win in a four day game since 2013, but due to their potential fan base/untapped market for the ICC.
ICC have always wanted Nepal to progress for the same reason. Nepal were only included in the ICC WCL Championship because of their huge fan base.
