International Cricket Council Revamps Formats for Men’s World Cups
The revised tournament adds a Super Series for the bottom three teams and replaces the Super 6 with a Super 7 to boost competitiveness.
- The International Cricket Council announced major format revisions for the 2027 ODI World Cup and 2028 T20 World Cup during its Annual General Meeting in Edinburgh on Wednesday to increase competitiveness.
- Recent global ICC events faced empty stadiums and a lack of fan interest in non-competitive matches, prompting the governing body to restructure formats to achieve "greater context and consequence."
- The 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia will feature a new three-stage structure, replacing the traditional Super 6 stage with a Super 7 phase to enhance competitive intensity.
- For the 2028 T20 World Cup, officials implemented a Super 10 stage after the group phase, with second and third-placed teams playing eliminators to determine semifinal qualifiers.
- Expanding opportunities for emerging nations, the new structure promises higher competitive standards pending final Board approval following a Finance and Commercial Affairs Committee review.
