HONG KONG, June 28 (Reuters) - The 2015 World Cup will feature the 10 test-playing nations plus four associate teams, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Tuesday.
Cricket’s governing body had initially decided to restrict the 50-over
tournament, to be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, to its 10 full members.
“The ICC Executive Board opted to retain the 14-team format that was used at the highly successful and universally acclaimed ICC Cricket World Cup 2011,” the governing body said in a statement.
The move to make it a 10-team tournament triggered protests from Associate teams Ireland and Netherlands.
ICC President Sharad Pawar subsequently asked the executive board to review the decision in the annual conference.
