Cricket 1 February 2011 All 14 nations that were qualified to take part in the World Cup participated in a series of matches to prepare, experiment with different tactics and to help them acclimatise to conditions in the Indian subcontinent. The warm-up matches were not classified as One Day Internationals by the ICC, despite sharing some of main features of this form of cricket, but some of the playing regulations were different from standard internationals in order to allow teams to experiment. For example, the main change allowed for thirteen different players to play in a match – nine players being allowed to both bat and bowl, with two only being able to bowl and two only being able to bat – instead of the eleven players normally allowed. England, India, Sri Lanka and South Africa were the only teams to win both of their warm-up games, while Australia, Canada, Kenya and Zimbabwe did not win either of their fixtures. Match status As of 2007, none of the warm-up games were officially recognised as ODIs or List A matches by the ICC due to various changes in the rules of the game, and this continued into the 2011 World Cup.Murgatroyd Brian 2 March 2007 ICC confirms umpire and match referee appointments for opening stages of ICC Cricket World Cup http://www.icc-cricket.com/icc-news/content/story/282105.html https://web.archive.org/web/20070308061525/http://www.icc-cricket.com/icc-news/content/story/282105.html 8 March 2007 25 May 2007 ICC Note, the warm-up matches do not have ODI status and so there will be no ICC match referee in place for these games.
