ICC to review reduction in team numbers for next World Cup

5:58 am on 20 April 2011

The controversial decision to restrict the next Cricket World cup to 10 teams is to be reconsidered by the International Cricket Council.

Earlier this month the ICC decided to confine participation at the 2015 World Cup to the 10 full Test-playing members of the organisation, triggering protest from weaker sides such as Ireland and the Netherlands.

The ICC President Sharad Pawar says after receiving complaints about the move they've decided to review the decision at the executive board meeting in Hong Kong in June.
