Worst World Cup management of the Season in Cricket History

Worst World Cup Season in Cricket History

World Cup 2019 is the 12 Edition of World Cup which is hosted by England and Wales and the host team are one of the favorite teams who can win the title for very first time for the country. As England have never won the title in 3 finals played in 1979, 1987 and 1992 where as Australian are the most successful team to win the title for 5 times (1987 and 3 in a row from 1999 to 2007 and are also the defending champions in 2015). Team India have won the title for two times (1983 and 2011) and West Indies had won the first 2 edition (1975 and 1979). And Srilanka have 1 world cup in their cabinet as they won their first title in 1996 and the another team to have won the title in 1992 is Pakistan.

The 12th edition of World Cup is turning to be the worst world cup of all times as most of the matches played between the two teams end up one sided which may affect the popularity of the game as the most of the teams lack the number of match winners in the team. Some the champions of previous edition looked like an underdogs.

The another factor that has affected the matches is the weather of the host country which ruined 4 matches in 19 matches of the tournament where in 3 matches the team shares the points and Sri Lanka have won a match by DLS method. It’s seems to be poor selection of venue for the grand tournament.

The lighting bells are the most annoying factors for the bowlers in the tournament where the bells don’t dislodge even after hit by the ball bowled by a pacers like Bumrah and Starc. There are 5 incidents in the tournament where the bells refused to dislodge due to heaviness of the modern lighting bells which can a biggest drawback for the bowlers and results of the game may be affected as the tournament goes up.

There are some great challenges for ICC to overcome and make the event successful.

Sikhar Dhawan ruled out from ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Sikhar Dhawan ruled out of World Cup 2019

A big blow for team India as the star batsman of last match has been ruled out of World Cup 2019. He was hit on his left thumb during the match between India and Australia in Oval on Sunday while he was crashing down the bowlers.

And he has been adviced to rest for atleast 3 weeks and it’s seems that he will be ruled out of the tournament and the team has called Rishab Pant as a replacement of Sikhar Dhawan. And with the Dhawan’s eviction team India looked disbalanced as they will be missing a promising no. 4 in the squad if KL Rahul will open the inning for the team and leave the no.4th position a mystery for team India and there will be a great challenge for the team management to form a better team combination that can help the team to go upstairs in the tournament and help Virat to end up the trophy in his hand standing in the Lord’s balcony.

And what will be the the playing Xl in tomorrow’s match against New Zealand at Trent Bridge Nottingham. There are four player who will probably play at no. 4 in the the match against Black caps and are… Dinesh Karthik, Vijay Shankar, Kedar Jadav and the most dangerous MS Dhoni. But Shankar may be playing the next match.
