Japan captain Kendel Fleming and Japan Cricket Association CEO Alan Curr have voiced strong criticism of the upcoming 2027 World Cup format, speaking ahead of the bilateral series against India on September 22. The remarks, made in an interview with Sports Now, highlight concerns over the structural changes set to reshape the tournament.
Fleming and Curr did not specify the exact grievances, but their comments signal a potential rift between participating nations and the ICC over the revised competition design. The timing of the protest, just before the India-Japan clash, adds pressure on both sides to address the format debate.
