History
The ICC conceived the idea of a short cricket tournamentt to raise funds for the development of the game in the non-Test playing countries. The tournament, later dubbed as the mini-World Cup as it involved all the full members of the ICC, was planned as a Knock Out tournament so that it is both short and also does not reduce the value and importance of the World Cup.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
