The International Cricket
Council (ICC) has
commenced preparations
for the 2015 World Cup by
unveiling the next World
Cup logo.
The unveiling of the logo is
as part of a symbolic
handover from the
successful 2011 hosts to
their successors who will
host the next World Cup
after four years. Australia
and New Zealand will
together be hosting the
next World Cup.
Haroon Lorgat, the ICC
chief executive has
described the logo as "a
dynamic logo which
captures the cultural
influences in the host
countries."
Twelve teams may contest
the 2015 World Cup as the
ICC is considering a
compromise between the
14 teams of 2011 and a
tight 10-team model
currently on the table for
the tournament's next
edition.
The ICC's executive council
is meeting in Mumbai on
Monday and on the
agenda is the format for
the next World Cup, to be
hosted by Australia and
New Zealand, following the
rousing success of this
year's edition, which was
won by India.
