ICC are planning to have a 10 team event in 2019 , but the greats like sachin lara feel that globalization of the game is necessary So can we have a 20 team even with the following format Group Stage: 20 teams with 5 groups of 4 each Group A) Aus, Sl , PNG, Nepal Group B) Ind , Afghan, Zim , UAE Group C) Eng , Windies , Scotland , Canada Group D) Pak , Bang , Hong Kong , Ireland Group E) Sa, Nz , Malaysia , Bermuda Top 2 teams from each group make it to Super 10 .(with points earned against qualifying team carried forward) In Super 10 each team plays each other with top 4 going to knockouts

Can you imagine how long the tournament with that format will take to finish ? :rofl:
Not advocating the format, but duration wise it can be done in a reasonable amount of time: 1. Stage 1 has 6*5 = 30 matches which can be played in 15 days. 2. Stage 2 has 40 matches (assuming teams don't play the team from their group again), which can be played over 27 days, giving sufficient break to teams. 3. Knockouts can be played over another 7 days (even if one chooses the eliminator/qualifier system over Semi Finals). That's 7 weeks for the entire tournament.

Great teams are like wine, they get better with age, and remember that great team had to start somewhere.

12 teams,6 teams in 2 groups each.top 3 qualifies for super 6 and more wins in the group stages mean points are carried forward in the super six.top 4 from SS reach the semi final. 99,2003 were the best format where the group stage matches were meaningful and super six were awesome
