Mumbai, July 16 -- The ICC on Wednesday announced that ODI World Cups will revert to being 14-team events, as in the past, after the 2019 and 2023 editions were 10-team affairs, but with a modified framework. Teams ranked 12-14 will feature in Round 1, with the best-placed team qualifying for Round 2. This advanced round will have 12 teams divided into two groups of six, followed by a newly introduced Super 7 stage. This phase will comprise the top three from each group in Round 2, as well as the next highest-placed team from the two groups.P21
