  • The 2027 ODI World Cup will feature a revamped format, potentially adding an extra Pakistan-India match.
  • The tournament will have a 12-team main group stage with two pools of six and a new 'super seven' stage.
  • The 2028 T20 World Cup will see 10 teams qualify from the group stage, up from eight.

Story so far

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has approved a revamped format for the men’s 2027 One Day International (ODI) World Cup, which could potentially lead to an additional fixture between arch-rivals Pakistan and India. The next edition, to be held in South Africa, will remain a 14-team competition. Under the new structure, the three lowest-ranked qualifiers will participate in a preliminary round, with only one team advancing to a 12-strong main group stage.
