WCA Raises Concerns Over Changes To 2027 ODI WC Format, Calls For Transparency And Consultation
WCA CEO Tom Moffat: The World Cricketers’ Association (WCA) on Friday expressed deep concern over the ICC’s decision to revise the format of the 2027 Men’s ODI World Cup on the sidelines of its Annual Conference in Edinburgh, stating that the sudden shift raises critical questions regarding transparency, stakeholder consultation, and cricket’s global growth.
While the ICC has retained the 14-team structure for the mega event to be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, it will now feature a new three-stage structure beginning with a preliminary Super Series for three lowest-ranked teams before progressing to a group stage, a Super 7 round and the knockouts.
The WCA has highlighted that this fundamentally dilutes the opportunity originally promised to emerging nations, who had planned their investment, qualification pathways, and resources around the initial two-groups-of-seven format.
