    ICC MEDIA INFORMATION THE ICC WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR COMMERCIAL PARTNERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF THE WELCOME ICC CHAIRMAN It is with great pleasure that I welcome all members of the media to Australia and New Zealand for cricket’s pinnacle event, the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. This is the 11th edition of the tournament, and we are delighted to see the co-hosts join forces again after hosting the event so memorably in 1992. Since it was first held in England in 1975, the ICC Cricket World Cup has become cricket’s most prestigious, fiercely contested global prize. Every four years, we have been treated to unforgettable, iconic matches and individual performances from some of the best teams and players of all time. In 2011, attendance at the ICC Cricket World Cup exceeded 1.25 million, and we saw record-breaking television ratings as the event was broadcast in 180 territories. In 2015, the ICC Cricket World Cup will reach a potential broadcast audience of 2.5 billion in over 220 territories, and it will be the largest-scale broadcast in cricket history. A host of in-venue facilities and innovations such as the ICC Online Media Zone, live-streaming and transcripts of press conferences, will help journalists, photographers and broadcasters conduct their work efficiently.

The competition involving Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway and Scotland has all the makings of being a very competitive event. Cricket, in Ireland, received a welcome fillip with the excellent performance of the Irish Cricket team in the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup. I'm sure we all still remember the wonderful matches where we beat Pakistan and Bangladesh and tied with Zimbabwe. The contests were very close and the excitement was felt by most people on the island. It was an amazing achievement to reach the Super 8's. That success in the World Cup gave a great boost to cricket at home. Cricket in Ireland has become more professional in terms of training, facilities and the general approach to every aspect of the sport. I hope that people will come to support all of the matches taking place in the various grounds across the city. The fact that the three matches in Clontarf, involving Ireland, Netherlands and Scotland have full One Day International (ODI) status is impressive and will surely add to the excitement and status of the tournament.
