ICC WORLD CUP 2019

ICC WORLD CUP 2019

            The  Cricket World Cup, 2019 (officially known as ICC Cricket World Cup 2019) is the 12th edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup, scheduled to be hosted by England and Wales,  from 30 May to 14 July 2019.

            The hosting rights of the trumament were awarded in April 2006, after England and Wales withdrew from the bidding to host the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, which was held in Australia and New Zealand. The first match will play at The Oval while the final will be played at Lord's. It is the fifth time that the ICC Cricket World Cup will be held in England and Wales, following the years of  1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999 World Cups.

            The format of the tournament will be a single group of ten individual teams, with each team playing the other nine teams, and the top four teams progressing to a knockout stage of semi-finals and a final. The ten teams tournament has gained criticism due to the lack of associate teams in the tournament, given the increase of the Test playing nations from 10 to 12, with the admission of Ireland and Afghanistan in June 2017, it will be the first World Cup to be contested without all of the Test playing countries being present, and after the elimination of all the Associate teams at the qualifying tournaments, this will be also be the first World Cup to feature no Associate members.  .

ICC WORLD CUP 2019 QUALIFIERS

            The 2019 Cricket World Cup will feature with 10 teams, a decrease from previous World Cups in 2011 and 2015 which featured 14 teams. The hosts, England, and the top seven other teams in the ICC One Day International rankings as of 30^th  September 2017 earned automatic qualification, with the remaining two spots being decided by the 2018 World Cup, Cricket Qualifier.

            At the time of the announcement of the qualification pattern, at most two teams, and possibly none could represent ICC Associate and Affiliate members, who were guaranteed four spots in the previous two World Cup tournaments, at all if they were beaten by the lowest ranked Full Members in the Qualifier. It also meant that at least two of the 10 Test playing countries at the time of the announcement would have to play in the qualifying tournament, and could possibly miss the World Cup finals entirely.

            Following recent success, Ireland and Afghanistan were promoted into the ICC ODI Championship and have since been promoted to full members of the ICC, becoming the newest Test cricketing nations. However, these nations still needed to qualify for the World Cup via the current process.

            The Afghanistan won the qualifying tournament defeating the West Indies in the final. Both teams qualified for the World Cup, while Zimbabwe despite hosting the qualifying tournament failed to reach the final and will miss the World Cup for the first time since 1983. Ireland . the recently appointed full member will also miss the World Cup for the first time since 2007 and for the first time ever no Associate nation will be participating in the World Cup.
