New Delhi: Having been a part of three World Cup campaigns, former India cricket captain Rahul Dravid said that the current format of the 50-over showpiece event, starting mid February in Australia and New Zealand, is too predictable and should be improved upon.

"Don't really like it. Reason is you can almost predict who the top eigth teams are going to be. There comes a time in the tournament, and I sensed it in India in the last World Cup. I wasn't playing, I was just watching. Everyone starts to wait for the quarterfinals, because you know that those are the three big games. "The best formats for me would be the two World Cups I played in 1999 and 2003. They had the group stage, then the super six then you went on the play a semifinal and a final.
