Australia Head Coach McDonald Urges 17-member Squads Limit For 2027 WC
International Cricket Council: Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to increase the squad limit to 17 players for the 2027 Men’s ODI World Cup, adding that the tournament’s refreshed format could turn into a war of attrition if teams are restricted to just 15 players in their respective squads.
Earlier this month, the ICC announced a new structure for the 2027 edition of the global event to be hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. Though it still features 14 teams, an additional 'Super 7' stage has been established before the semi-finals.
Under the new layout, the finalists will play at least 13 matches compared to 11 in the 2023 edition, with the possibility of playing up to 15 games depending on qualification routes. "One of the big things from my perspective is if it's going to be your pinnacle event, what do your squad sizes look like? We had the dilemma of what it looked like having a 15-player squad for the last World Cup, and I think New Zealand were in the same boat where we had a couple of injuries.
