ICC Unveils New ODI World Cup and T20 World Cup Formats with Super 7, Super 10

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has approved major changes to the formats of its flagship men’s tournaments, introducing a three-stage structure for the 14-team ODI World Cup and a revamped Super 10 stage for the 20-team T20 World Cup.

Under the new ODI format, the tournament will feature a Super Series, followed by group-stage action and a seven-team Super 7 round before the semi-finals. The T20 World Cup will now have five groups of four teams, with the top two from each group progressing to the Super 10 stage. Cross-over eliminators will determine the final two semi-finalists.

The ICC said the changes are aimed at creating more meaningful matches, improving competitiveness and enhancing the fan experience.
