This was the ninth Cricket World Cup tournament and was held between 14 March and 28 April 2007. The sixteen teams asked to announce their final squads by 13 February 2007. Changes were allowed after this deadline at the discretion of the ICCs Technical Committee in necessary cases, such as due to player injury. In order to aid the teams to select the final 15, teams were given the option to announce a 30-man squad by mid-January, with the understanding that the final squad would be picked from these 30 players.Mills and Oram in World Cup preliminary squad https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/mills-and-oram-in-world-cup-preliminary-squad-276390 ESPNcricinfo 14 January 2007 15 December 2023 28 November 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20221128085943/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/mills-and-oram-in-world-cup-preliminary-squad-276390 live However, this was not strictly adhered to – several of England's final 15 came from outside the initial 30, for example.
