Selection of hosts
Main article: Cricket World Cup hosts
The International Cricket Council's executive committee votes for the hosts of the tournament after examining the bids made by the nations keen to hold a Cricket World Cup.[61]
England hosted the first three competitions. The ICC decided that England should host the first tournament because it was ready to devote the resources required to organising the inaugural event.[9] India volunteered to host the third Cricket World Cup, but most ICC members preferred England as the longer period of daylight in England in June[62] meant that a match could be completed in one day.[63]The 1987 Cricket World Cup was held in Pakistan and India, the first hosted outside England.[64]
Many of the tournaments have been jointly hosted by nations from the same geographical region, such as South Asia in 1987, 1996 and 2011, Australasia in 1992, Southern Africa in 2003 and West Indies in 2007
