ICC to reconsider World Cup format changes
The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Tuesday that
they have been asked by their president, Sharad Pawar, to reconsider
proposals to streamline the cricket World Cup. Under plans announced
during an ICC summit in Mumbai earlier this month, participation at the
2015 and 2019 World Cups will be restricted to just the 10 full ICC
member teams.
This year's World Cup, won by India, featured 14 teams, and the
decision to exclude non Test-playing nations such as Ireland and Kenya
from future editions prompted angry protests from the countries set to
be left out. AFP
