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:
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history is to be read and written.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
