However, ahead of the tournament, the International Cricket Council (ICC) have changed the format of the tournament. Previously, it was discussed that 14 teams would be featuring in the World Cup, divided into two groups.
As per the new rule, there will still be 14 teams. But this is now a 12-team competition, faking it as a 14-team tournament. In World Cups across every sport, all the participating nations enter the tournament at the same stage in the first round. However, in the upcoming Cricket World Cup, it will not be the same.
After that, if Pakistan plays good cricket and qualifies for the knockouts, they might yet again face the Men in Blue side in the semi-finals, with three matches possibly being played.
Why British media blamed the Indian market for the revised World Cup format?
Under the previous format, the team could have played 11 games if they reached the final; now they will be able to play 13 games, which means India would have more matches and the apex body will be able to generate more broadcasting revenues, as India matches generate more revenue than any other matches, especially India vs Pakistan, which might happen thrice next year.
How Associate nations could lose out under the revised format?
The new format will only lead to one nation from the associate nations qualifying for the ICC World Cup, as the other is Namibia, which is already the host and will be featuring. Apart from that, the reduced 12-team tournament will lack a sporting nature in the ICC events, as the two teams playing the last match of the Super Series will have an unfair advantage.
