Mumbai, July 15 -- The most popular of International Cricket Council (ICC)'s white-ball world events, the T20 World Cup may be in for a rejig with the introduction of the Super 10 phase to replace the Super 8s. This was among a raft of proposals that cricket's governing body presided over during last week's annual board meeting in Scotland. A final call will be taken in subsequent meetings, but modification to the T20 World Cup format is most likely to be approved, an ICC board director told HT. There are two-fold objectives behind the change. One is to bring more big ticket matches to the tournament, another to add more competitive edge to knockout qualification. At present, Round 1 sees five teams divided in four Groups which accounts for 40 matches - that's 73% of the 55-match tournament. That's unusually high for the early rounds involving significant presence of associate nations. Two teams from each Group qualify for Super 8s, which sees eight teams further divided in two Groups of four. This round to decide the semi-finalists is only 12-matches strong. Under the changed format, four teams would be divided into five Groups during Round 1, trimming the early exchanges to 30 matches (58%) of the entire competition. Subsequently, two teams from each group would qualify for Super 10s, involving two groups of five teams each. The Super 10s would be a 20-match affair and expectedly the focal part of the event before the semis and the final. The money-spinning India-Pakistan clash would still be played only once - in one of the two rounds, it is learnt. The Super 10 tweak, if it comes to pass, will be implemented 2028 onwards when the marquee event goes to Australia and New Zealand....
