What new changes were introduced to the 1983 – World Cup?


What new changes were introduced to the 1983 – World Cup?

The 1983 event was hosted by England for a third consecutive time. By, this time, Sri Lanka had become a Test playing nation, and Zimbabwe qualified through the ICC Trophy. A fielding circle was introduced, 30 yards away from the stumps. Four fieldsmen needed to be inside it all times. India defeated the West Indies in the finals thrillingly by the glorious efforts of the Captain Kapil Dev with the bat 175 not out and won 1983 World Cup.
