Cricket teams across the globe should qualify basis criteria to get in to the series. Primarily the test series is the qualifier, however for countries not playing the test series have to get through the One day series. Post these one day matches the countries gets short listed for the semi finals and then finals.

            Historically West Indies, Australia, Srilanka and India have been the strong contenders of the series Trophy. There have been great changes observed by the cricket teams across to win the trophy. Most of the strong contenders have some of the strong players who would get them the desired results on the field. Like in West Indies Clive Lloyd and Vivian Richards had been the key consistent players to fetch the winning trophy twice and that too in an order for the country for first two series. Vivian was given the Man of the Match for the final match for the fantastic performance in the Second World cup series. However third series winning team was Australia with David Boon as the man of the series. Then it was India, Pakistan, Australia again and then Srilanka who won the series in the order respectively.
