Why was England selected as the venue of the first World Cup?
The International Cricket Council’s executive committee votes for the hosts of the tournament after examining the bids made by the nations keen to hold a Cricket World Cup. England hosted the first three competitions. The ICC decided that England should host the first tournament because it was ready to devote the resources required to organizing the inaugural event. India volunteered to host the third Cricket World Cup, but most ICC members believed England to be a more suitable venue, because the longer period of day-light in England in June meant that a match could be completed in one day.
