ICC introduced a newly shaped format for the ODI World Cup, which will take place in 2027, after its annual meeting in Scotland. WCA, in its official press release on July 17, mentions that the new format, which allows 14 teams in the tournament, but the additional qualification round for the three lower-ranked teams in the tournament has raised concerns.
WCA, in their official release, mentions that the revised format has raised doubts about transparency, consultation, and the game’s long-term commitment to global growth.
WCA alleged the ICC did not conduct significant communication with the associate members
With the latest added extra qualification round within the tournament, chances to face the top teams have decreased significantly for the lower-ranked teams, as per WCA's thoughts.
In support of WCA, captains of multiple cricket-playing nations have also raised their voices.
It’s incredibly disappointing: Scott Edwards, the Netherlands’ Men’s national cricket team captain
“Qualifying for an ODI World Cup is a huge achievement for any country, so when the reality of that opportunity changes after years of planning, it’s incredibly disappointing. The ICC talks a lot about growing the game globally, but decisions like this make it harder for associate nations to play against the best teams in the world,” Edwards says in support of WCA.
Paul Stirling, Ireland men’s national cricket team captain, claims that, like the football World Cup, where multiple lower-ranked nations take part, in cricket, associate countries always add value in the 50-overs World Cup.
Gerhard Erasmus (Namibian Men’s Captain), Richie Berrington (Scotland Men’s Captain), Harmeet Singh (US player), and Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand player) are other notable figures who stand in support of WCA.
