World Cup Cricket

The first attempt at a World Championship of cricket was in 1912, when a three-way series was arranged between the then current Test playing nations, Australia, England and South Africa. The experiment was not repeated until 1975 when, following the success of domestic one-day competitions, the six Test playing nations (England, Australia, New Zealand, West Indies, India and Pakistan) were joined by Sri Lanka and East Africa in the first World Cup. The tournament has taken place every four years since.
