Out of the 10 teams facing each other for the Cricket World Cup title, eight have automatically qualified. They are, Australia, England, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and South Africa. However, the likes of West Indies and Afghanistan went through a qualifier tournament.

Interestingly, ahead of the World Cup 2019, there was a change of format. The new ICC Cricket World Cup Schedule states that teams will play 9 matches in a round robin before the top 2 qualify.

Moving on to team news, the Men in Blue were dealt a blow when Kedar Jadhav picked up an injury. So, the BCCI are scrambling to find a replacement, and they have zeroed in on Ambati Rayudu and Axar Patel as likely candidates.
