After 27 years, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has reverted to a format for the forthcoming World Cup which was in place during the 1992 edition where all teams played each other at least once.

However, there is a flip side to a 10-team format. One slip-up in the semi-final or a rain intervention can result in the end of a team's World Cup campaign, irrespective of how clinical they were in reaching the Top Four.
