Be called a world cup?
Only 19 teams are part taking.
Most of the teams are the same old bunch, new qualifiers seem rare
Mostly only teams who were part of the British empire play cricket
The ICC only has 5 regional bodies (which doesn't include Latin America!)
It has only been hosted in 4 different areas
Only 5 teams have ever actually won it
No clear route of qualification
COMPARED TO FOOTBALL WHERE:
32 teams part take in the actual tournament
Every tournament sees a new qualifier or two, NZ in 2010, Togo in 2006
Every nation on earth has an official football team
FIFA recognises 7/8 regional bodies, 1 for every continent
The world cup has been almost everywhere, and in 2022 will even be hosted in the Arab world
8 teams have won it, from Uruguay to Germany
The qualification process is clear and battled out between 100's of nations
To win the cricket world cup isn't to be the worlds best in cricket as it's only played by a small group of nations, and has a low global interest.
Erm..Saeed?

LOL Hassan..I agree, a true ''cricket world cup'' is impossible as it's a waste of time.
