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. We thank STAR Sports for its loyal support of ICC tournaments, with the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 being the final event in the current eight-year rights cycle.
