About ICC Cricket World Cup 2019
ICC Cricket World Cup History
The ICC Cricket World Cup is a competition that takes place every four years. The tournament is considered one of the world's most viewed sporting events. The first ever ICC Cricket World Cup took place in 1975 in England. Interestingly, the inaugural ICC Women's Cricket World Cup was held two years before the Men's, namely in 1973.
There are no restrictions for playing in the World Cup, but the top eight ranked teams gain automatic qualification, while the remaining seats are fought for in a qualifier tournament. A total of 20 teams have played in an ICC Cricket World Cup game, but the number of participants has dwindled over the years.
For the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, only 10 teams will participate, including two qualifiers. This is a far cry from 14 teams that took part in 2015.
The next ICC Cricket World Cup will be held in 2023 for men. In addition to that, the next ICC Women's Cricket World Cup will be held in 2021.
