DETAILED REQUIREMENTS: The world cup cricket match is scheduled every four years by ICC (International Cricket Council). ICC will always decide that in which country the tournament will be held. To award this event, ICC will take in account various deciding criteria like economy of the country, availability of stadium and hotels. The hosting country must also meet all eligibility conditions like minimum financial requirements. The country that likes to host the tournament must also ensure that it has a corporate sponsor/s. Hosting a World Cup tournament is a big challenge as the host country needs to meet many conditions and requirements. Besides the issue of economy, there are many other issues that are matter of big concern like the security aspects to ensure players and official safety. Before awarding the contract, information about stadium, geographical locality, and tourism are also seriously considered. After confirming the country and the tournament sponsors, it is important that ICC will choose a good event manager/organizer who can conduct a good and satisfying tour for everyone. Event organization group will create game plans, hosting schedules and also manage all aspects of the tournament. The game plan will include drawing a board containing four or five groups, each of them consisting of four cricket playing countries. After draws are entered, there will be group matches to eliminate failing teams and selecting winning teams. By the end of group playing sessions, all the emerging countries will be asked to play for quarter, semi and final matches. The event organizer will thus conduct the tourney very successfully.

It is also important to choose various types of media like television, news, websites, and advertising companies to create a favorable opinion of the world cup tournaments and also to attract international tourists. Each participating country will choose their own team and members, coach and medical personnel. The country that hosts the tournament must decide on the stadium on which the games will be played and the main condition to choose a particular stadium is the availability of enough hotel rooms, transportation and tourism spots.

All playing countries will be looked after well by a hospitality group who provides everything that is needed by the playing teams that include accommodation, food, entertainment and transportation facilities. Stadium manager will be assigned to take care of the construction aspects of stadium and also the estimated capacity crowd that attends to see the match. He/she will take care of all aspects and activities that are connected with the management of stadium. It may include arranging for TV telecasting of the event, audience services, arranging for computers, and a full pledged media center.

A manager will also be appointed and assigned the duty of arranging seats for dignitaries, VIPs, and also manage refreshment facilities.

Stadium manager will also import new gadgets, tools, instruments and software that will be used in security and also to broadcast the live game show. They must have high resolution cameras and video editing teams, to provide a good quality viewing on the TV. These software systems must also enable the third umpire to take proper and unbiased decisions. The software system must also be able to maintain and show a series of statistical records of the game and the team, while the score card for a given game should also be maintained by the software itself. As the event is of an important and critical nature, all software systems that manage the show must be perfect, authentic and completely stable. Security and safety of players, team, dignitaries and the stadium is also very important and care must be taken to ensure their safety throughout the tenure of the tournament. Both the government and stadium manager will involve in the security related issues. Governmental security agencies will take care of security of team members and the dignitaries, when they arrive at the stadium and while they are in the country and also maintain law and order if something bad happens in the city where the game is played.

Organizers also choose one group for evaluating past experiences, rules and regulation of the game and also to make new rules and legislations for the present tournament. Umpires, referees and other key members will also be selected by the ICC to participate and manage the tournament. ICC will also look after the ranking of teams and in maintaining the players ethics and integrity clauses.
