The ICC Cricket World Cup is the international cricket champion One Day International (ODI). The event is organized by the sports management agency, the International Cricket Council (ICC), every four years, with preliminary qualifying rounds leading up to the final tournament. This tournament is one of the most widely viewed sporting events in the world and is considered the "flagship event of the international cricket calendar" by the ICC.
The first World Cup was held in England in June 1975, with the first ODI cricket match played just four years earlier. However, a separate Women's Cricket World Cup was held two years before the first men's tournament, and a tournament involving many international teams was held as early as 1912, when triangle trials trials were played between Australia, England and South Africa.. The first three World Cups were held in England. From the 1987 tournament onwards, hosting has been shared between countries under an unofficial rotation system, with fourteen ICC members having held at least one game in the tournament.
The World Cup is open to all members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), even though the highest ranked team receives an automatic qualification. The remaining team is determined through the World Cricket League and ICC World Cup Qualifier. Twenty teams have competed in eleven editions of the tournament, with fourteen competing in the latest edition in 2015; the next edition in 2019 will only have ten teams. Australia have won the tournament five times, with West Indies, India (twice each), Pakistan and Sri Lanka (one each) have also won the tournament. The best performance by a full-fledged non-member team came when Kenya made the 2003 tournament semi-finals. The tournament is the world's 3rd largest sporting event behind the FIFA World Cup, Summer Olympics and New Rugby World Cup in terms of Mass Viewing and Attendance. The World Cup match between India and Pakistan attracts more audiences than the FIFA World Cup Final due to Arch Rivalry between the two countries.

History
Prior to the first Cricket World Cup
The first international cricket match was played between Canada and the United States, on 24 and 25 September 1844. However, the first Test match that was credited was played in 1877 between Australia and England, and both teams competed regularly for The Ashes in subsequent years. South Africa was included in Test status in 1889. The representative cricket team was selected to tour each other, resulting in a bilateral competition. Cricket was also included as an Olympic sport at the 1900 Paris Olympics, where England beat France to win the gold medal. This is the only cricket appearance in the Summer Olympics.
The first international multilateral competition was the 1912 Triangle Tournament, the Test cricket tournament being played in the UK between the three test countries of the time: England, Australia and South Africa. The event did not work: the summer was so wet, making it difficult to play on the wet pitch, and poor attendees, attributed to "cricket crickets". Since then, International Test crickets have generally been drawn up as bilateral series: multilateral Test tournaments are no longer regulated until the triangle Asia Test Championship in 1999.
The number of countries playing Cricket test increased gradually over time, with the addition of West Indies in 1928, New Zealand in 1930, India in 1932, and Pakistan in 1952. However, international cricket continued to be played as bilateral Test matches for three year, four or five days.
In the early 1960s, the county county cricket team began playing a short version of cricket that lasted only one day. Beginning in 1962 with a four-team knockout competition known as the Midlands Knock-Out Cup, and continued with the inaugural Gillette Cup in 1963, cricket one day became popular in England. A national Sunday League was formed in 1969. The first International Day of First match was played on the fifth day of the Rain Test match between England and Australia in Melbourne in 1971, to fill the time available and as compensation for the frustrated.. It was forty games with eight balls per over.
In the late 1970s, Kerry Packer established a rival World Series Cricket (WSC) competition. It introduces many features that are now common from One Day International cricket, including colored uniforms, matches played at night under spotlights with white balls and dark vision screens, and, for television broadcasts, multiple camera angles, microphone effects to capture sound from players in the field, and on-screen graphics. The first of the matches in colored uniforms was WSC Australia in golden versus WSC West Indians on a pink reef, playing at VFL Park in Melbourne on January 17, 1979. The success and popularity of the domestic one-day competition in the UK and other parts of the world, as well as International One -Day early, encourage ICC to consider organizing Cricket World Cup.
The first Cricket World Cup was held in 1975 by the UK, the only country capable of putting forward resources to hold such an event at that time. The 1975 tournament starts on 7 June. The first three events were held in the UK and officially known as the Prudential Cup after the sponsors of Prudential plc. The game consists of 60 balls-six overs per team, played during day time in traditional form, with players wearing white cricket and using red cricket balls.
Eight teams participated in the first tournaments: Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and the West Indies (the six Test countries at the time), together with Sri Lanka and the joint team from East Africa. One of the most important disappearances is South Africa, which is banned from international cricket because of apartheid. The tournament was won by the West Indies, who beat Australia with 17 runs in the final at Lord's.
The 1979 World Cup saw the introduction of the ICC Trophy competition to select non-Test teams playing for the World Cup, with Sri Lanka and Canada qualifying. The West Indies won the second World Cup tournament in a row, beating the hosts England with 92 games in the final. At the World Cup meeting, the International Cricket Conference agreed to make this competition a four-year event.
The 1983 event was hosted by England for the third time in a row. At this stage, Sri Lanka has become a pilot country, and Zimbabwe passes through the ICC Trophy. Circle field was introduced, 30 yards (27 m) from the stump. Four fieldmen must be in it all the time. The two teams faced each other twice, before moving on to knock-out. Indians, outsiders, cited 66-1 to win by bettors before the competition began, were crowned champions after disappointing the West Indies with 43 matches in the final.
Different champions (1987-1996)
India and Pakistan jointly organized the 1987 tournament, the first time the competition was held outside the UK. The game is reduced from 60 to 50 overs per round, the current standard, because the daylight hours are shorter in the Indian subcontinent than in the English summer. Australia won the championship by beating England with 7 games in the final, the closest margin in the history of the World Cup finals.
The 1992 World Cup, held in Australia and New Zealand, introduced many changes to the game, such as colored clothing, white balls, day/night matches, and changes to field barring rules. South Africa's cricket team participated in the event for the first time, following the fall of the apartheid regime and the end of an international sports boycott. Pakistan overcame a gloomy start in the tournament to finally defeat England with 22 games in the final and emerge victorious.
The 1996 championship was held in the Indian subcontinent for the second time, incorporating Sri Lanka as the host of several group stage matches. In the semi-finals, Sri Lanka, to a landslide victory over India in the Garden of Eden after the hosts lost eight wickets while scoring 120 runs in pursuit of 252, were awarded a victory by default after rioting the crowd broke out in protest against India's performance. Sri Lanka went on to win its inaugural championship by beating Australia with seven wickets in the final in Lahore.
treble Australia (1999-2007)
In 1999, the event was hosted by England, with several games also held in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and the Netherlands. Twelve teams compete in the World Cup. Australia qualified for the semi-finals after reaching their target in a Super 6 match against South Africa from the final. They then went on to the final with a tie in the semi-finals as well against South Africa where a mixture of South African batsmen Lance Klusener and Allan Donald saw Donald drop the bat and be stranded in the middle of the field to run out. In the final, Australia refused Pakistan for 132 and then hit the target in less than 20 overs and with eight wicket in hand.
South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya hosted the 2003 World Cup. The number of teams participating in the event increased from twelve to fourteen. Kenya's victories over Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, among others - and lost by New Zealand teams, who refused to play in Kenya due to security concerns - allowed Kenya to reach the semi-finals, the best results by a colleague. In the final, Australia made 359 runs for the loss of two wickets, the biggest total ever in the final, beating India by 125 runs.
In 2007 the tournament was organized by the West Indies and expanded to sixteen teams. Following Pakistan's frustration over the Irish World Cup debutant in the group stage, Pakistani coach Bob Woolmer was found dead in his hotel room. Jamaican police initially launched an investigation into the murder of Woolmer's death but later confirmed that he died of heart failure. Australia beat Sri Lanka in the final with 53 runs (D/L) in humorous light conditions, and extended their unbeaten run at the World Cup to 29 matches and won three straight championships.
Host win (2011-2015)
India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh jointly hosted the 2011 Cricket World Cup. Pakistan was stripped of their hosting rights following a terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in 2009, with matches originally scheduled for Pakistan being redistributed to host countries others. The number of teams participating in the World Cup went down to fourteen. Australia lost their last group stage match against Pakistan on March 19, 2011, ending an undefeated streak of 35 World Cup matches, which started on May 23, 1999. India won their second World Cup title by beating Sri Lanka with 6 wickets in the final in Mumbai , and became the first country to win the final at home. MS Dhoni then became the first captain in history to win all major ICC - World T20 tournaments in 2007, the Champions Trophy in 2013 and this edition of the World Cup.
Australia and New Zealand jointly hosted the 2015 Cricket World Cup. The number of attendees remained at fourteen. Ireland is the most successful Associate country with a total of three wins in the tournament. New Zealand beat South Africa in a thrilling first semi-final to qualify for their first World Cup final. Australia beat New Zealand with seven wickets in the final in Melbourne to lift the World Cup for the fifth time.

Format
Qualification
Participating countries automatically qualify for World Cup events while other teams must qualify through a series of early qualifying tournaments. A new qualifying format was introduced for the 2015 Cricket World Cup. The top two teams in the ICC World League Cricket World Championship 2011-13 qualify directly. The other six teams join third and fourth teams placed in World Cup ICC World Cricket II Second Division and two top teams from World Cup ICC World Cricket III Division Three in World Cup Qualification to decide the two remaining spots.
The qualifying tournament was introduced for the second World Cup, where two of the eight venues in the final were awarded to leading teams at the ICC Trophy. The number of teams selected through the ICC Trophy has varied throughout the year. The World Cricket League (administered by the International Cricket Council) is a qualifying system provided to allow Associate and Affiliate members of the ICC more opportunities to qualify. The name "ICC Trophy" has been changed to "ICC World Cup Qualifier".
Under the current qualification process, World Cricket League, all ICC Associate and Affiliates can qualify for the World Cup. Associate and Affiliate members must play between two and five stages in the ICC World Cricket League to qualify for the World Cup finals, depending on the Division where they begin the qualifying process.

Tournament
The Cricket World Cup format has changed greatly throughout its history. Each of the first four tournaments is played by eight teams, divided into two groups of four. Competition consists of two stages, group stage and knock-out stage. Four teams in each group played each other in the round-robin group, with the top two teams in each group progressing to the semi-finals. The winners of the semifinals play against each other in the final. With South Africa back in the fifth tournament in 1992 as a result of the end of the apartheid boycott, nine teams played each other once in the group phase, and the top four teams advanced to the semi-finals. The tournament expanded further in 1996, with two groups from six teams. The top four teams from each group advance to the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
Different formats were used for the 1999 and 2003 World Cups. The teams were split into two pools, with the top three teams in each pool progressing to Super i . The Super 6 team plays three other teams forward from another group. As they progress, the team takes their points forward from the previous game against the other teams that are advancing with them, giving them an incentive to perform well in the group stages. The top four teams from the Super 6 stage advance to the semifinals, with the winners playing in the final.
The format used in the 2007 World Cup involved 16 teams allocated to four four-member groups. Within each group, teams play each other in a round-robin format. The team earns points for wins and half points for ties. The top two teams from each group move on to the Super 8 round. The Super 8 team played six other teams that evolved from different groups. The teams earn points in the same way as the group stage, but take their points forward from the previous game against other teams that qualify from the same group into the Super 8 round. The top four teams from the Super 8 round go to the semi-finals, and the semifinal winners play in the final.
The format used in the 2011 and 2015 World Cups featured two groups of seven teams, each playing in a round-robin format. The top four teams from each group proceed to the knockout stage which consists of quarter-finals, semi-finals and finally the final.
It is proposed that in the 2019 World Cup, the number of participating teams will drop to 10 and all teams will play against each other once in a round robin format, before entering the semi-finals. It will be similar to that used in the 1992 World Cup.
Trophy
The ICC Cricket Trophy World Cup is presented to World Cup winners. The trophy is currently created for the 1999 championship, and is the first permanent prize in tournament history. Before this, different trophies were made for every World Cup. The trophy is designed and produced in London by a team of craftsmen from Garrard & Co for two months.
The current trophy is made of silver and gold, and features a golden globe held by three silver columns. Columns, shaped stumps and bails, represent three basic aspects of cricket: batting, bowling and fielding, while the globe features cricket balls. Stitch tilted to symbolize the axis of Earth's axis. Height is 60 cm and weighs about 11 kilograms. The names of previous winners were carved at the base of the trophy, with space for a total of twenty inscriptions. ICC keeps the original cup. Different replicas are only in inscriptions that are permanently awarded to the winning team.
Media coverage
The tournament is the third largest in the world with only the FIFA World Cup and the Summer Olympics going beyond it. Final Cricket World Cup 2011 is broadcast in over 200 countries to more than 2.2 billion television viewers. Television rights, especially for the 2011 and 2015 World Cups, sell for more than US $ 1.1 billion, and sponsor rights sell for more than US $ 500 million. The 2003 Cricket World Cup was attended by 626,845 people, while the 2007 Cricket World Cup sold more than 672,000 tickets. World Cup 2015 Sold more than 1.1 million tickets which is a record.
Consecutive World Cup tournaments have generated increasing media attention as One-Day International cricket has become more established. The 2003 World Cup in South Africa was the first to ride a mascot, Dazzler the zebra. An orange mongoose known as Mello is the mascot for the 2007 Cricket World Cup. Stumpy, the blue elephant is the mascot for the 2011 World Cup.
On February 13, the opening of the 2015 tournament is celebrated with Google Doodle.
Host selection
The executive committee of the International Cricket Council voted to host the tournament after checking bids made by countries wishing to hold the Cricket World Cup.
England hosted the first three competitions. The ICC decided that England should host the first tournament as it was ready to devote the resources needed to organize the inaugural event. India volunteered to host the third Cricket World Cup, but most ICC members prefer England because the longer daytime period in the UK in June means that matches can be completed in one day. The 1987 Cricket World Cup was held in India and Pakistan, the first to be held outside the UK.
Many tournaments have been co-organized by countries from the same geographical region, such as South Asia in 1987, 1996 and 2011, Australasia in 1992 and 2015, South Africa in 2003 and the West Indies in 2007.
