The tournament will be a new experience for many of the players who have never played in the Middle East nor in the conditions expected of the region during the course of the tournament but they will be assured that the passionate cricketing community of UAE will come out to cheer on UAE and all the sides.

Much like the UN, the ICC brings representatives from all cricket-playing countries together to make administrative decisions about the future of cricket. Unlike the UN, however, not all countries have an equal input; the ICC decides which members are worthy of “Test” status (Full Members), and which are not (Associate Members). While the Council has experienced many successes, including hosting the prestigious World Cup and promoting cricket at a grassroots level, it also continues to receive its fair share of criticism, predominantly regarding the ICC’s perceived obstruction of the growth of the game within non- traditionally cricketing nations and prioritizing the commercialization of the sport over globalizing it.

    International Journal of Engineering Technology Science and Research IJETSR www.ijetsr.com ISSN 2394 – 3386 Volume 2 Issue 5 May 2015 Predicting ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Shubham Awasthi1 ,Sakshi Babbar2 Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Jaypee University of Information Technology, Waknaghat, Himachal Pradesh, India Abstract The Cricket World Cup is one of the worlds largest and popular international sports tournament, which takes place every four years. The 2015 Cricket World Cup is just a few weeks away, and spectators have already started predicting the winner of the prestigious Cup. However, such predictions are purely based on experiences, instincts and gut feelings. In this work, we propose an integration of expert experiences with real cricket, sport statistics to model 2015 Cricket World Cup using Bayesian network to forecast the winner of the esteemed Cup. The objective of this work is not to propose a new data mining predictive algorithm, but a real life application where we can apply predictive task to gain knowledge about the domain. Using a Bayesian model we forecast winning teams of Cricket World Cup group stage, quarterfinals, semi finals and finals. By observing the current state of the World Cup, we claim accuracy of our work to be 88.1$\%$ and based on the current standings of teams in the quarter-finals our approach predicts Australia and New Zealand to reach the finals of the 2015 Cricket World Cup, of which Australia has a high probability to win the title of next cricket champions. We provide detail analyses of factors which may contribute Australia to win, and factors on which Australia may choose to work further to strengthen their chance of winning.

  • Justice Qayyum's Report
    PART I BACKGROUND TO INQUIRY 1. Cricket has always put itself forth as a gentleman’s game. However, this aspect of the game has come under strain time and again, sadly with increasing regularity. From BodyLine to Trevor Chappel bowling under-arm, from sledging to ball tampering, instances of gamesmanship have been on the rise. Instances of sportsmanship like Courtney Walsh refusing to run out a Pakistani batsman for backing up too soon in a crucial match of the 1987 World Cup; Imran Khan, as Captain calling back his counterpart Kris Srikanth to bat again after the latter was annoyed with the decision of the umpire; batsmen like Majid Khan walking if they knew they were out; are becoming rarer yet. Now, with the massive influx of money and sheer increase in number of matches played, cricket has become big business. Now like other sports before it (Baseball (the Chicago ‘Black-Sox’ against the Cincinnati Reds in the 1919 World Series), Football (allegations against Bruce Grobelar; lights going out at the Valley, home of Charlton Football club)) Cricket Inquiry Report Page 1 Cricket faces the threat of match-fixing, the most serious threat the game has faced in its life. 2. Match-fixing is an international threat. It is quite possibly an international reality too. Donald Topley, a former county cricketer, wrote in the Sunday Mirror in 1994 that in a county match between Essex and Lancashire in 1991 Season, both the teams were heavily paid to fix the match. Time and again, former and present cricketers (e.g. Manoj Prabhakar going into pre-mature retirement and alleging match-fixing against the Indian team; the Indian Team refusing to play against Pakistan at Sharjah after their loss in the Wills Trophy 1991 claiming matches there were fixed) accused different teams of match-fixing.
