Ten teams will participate in the 2019 World Cup. Seven of these 10 teams along with the eighth, hosts England, were given a direct entry into the World Cup based on their rankings while two others, Afghanistan and West Indies came through a qualifying tournament to make it through to the World Cup main.
In a format that closely resembles the 1992 edition of the competition, the 2019 World Cup will see each of the 10 teams take on each other in a round-robin format. Yes, every team will face the nine other sides in the round-robin stage of the competition with only the top four at the end of that phase going through to the semi-finals.
The ICC was criticised for its handling of the format, given there were nine teams that participated in the 1992 edition, 12 in 1996, 14 in 1999 and 2003, 16 in 2007, and 14 in 2011 and 2015 before deciding to go back down to 10 to reduce participation from the previous years. What’s interesting to note is that the 2023 World Cup will continue to have just 10 teams play in the tournament.
Teams Participating in the 2019 World Cup:
Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, West Indies, Afghanistan, England.
