The International Cricket Council is exploring significant changes to the structure of men's World Cups and the World Test Championship. Proposed adjustments include reducing the 50-over World Cup from 14 to 12 teams and introducing a 'super seven' stage, potentially for the 2027 tournament. Additionally, the ICC is considering adding semi-finals to the World Test Championship to enhance competitiveness.
Watch for the ICC's August meeting, where they will finalize the calendar and discuss the proposed 'super seven' stage for the 2027 World Cup. The potential addition of semi-finals to the World Test Championship could reshape viewer engagement in Test cricket.
