The
Speculation that surrounds all of us is whether Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar would
retire after playing his 200th test and with that view in mind the
BCCI requested the WICB to send the West Indies cricket team on a tour to India
which contains 2 test matches, the no. of matches the master needs to achieve
the landmark. But if I have to say, keep Sachin for the next overseas tour and
check out the performance of the next generation players with some experienced
players in the team. Cause if they fail, Sachin with his experience can try out
some positives. If they perform well, Sachin can happily hang his boots knowing
that the future of the Indian Cricket Team is strong.

The Mega event kick starts with the Kiwis taking on the 96’ champions Sri Lanka in the afternoon and the Australians taking on their arch rivals England at night. The next day it would be the defending champions India who face their arch rivals Pakistan to begin their title defence campaign. Also this would be India’s first World Cup match post Tendulkar’s retirement from India colours.

Total of 14 teams take part in this tournament and there are talks that this could be the last edition in which the Associate Nations take part. Out of 14, the 10 test playing nations gained direct qualification whereas there are qualifier tournaments held for the other four spots. Ireland have gained qualification and the rest 3 places are down to decide.
