Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden feels that the ICC has taken the right decision in cutting down to ten the number of participating teams in the next World Cup.<br /><br />"I sympathise with the arguments but these competitions are about the world's finest and even though Ireland produced some outstanding cricket, which shows the support mechanisms for our developing nations are working, I still think the World Cup should be for the premium sides," Hayden was quoted as saying by The Cricketer.<br /><br />In April, the ICC voted to exclude associate nations from a 10-team World Cup in 2015 but ICC President Sharad Pawar has since agreed to review the decision at the Executive Board meeting in Hong Kong later this month.
