The Cricket World Cup has returned to the home of the sport for its 12th edition - which gets under way on Thursday night (NZ time).
Over the next six weeks, the world's 10 best international teams will square off across England - and in the Welsh city of Cardiff - before the tournament final at the famous Lord's ground in London.
As RNZ's Clay Wilson reports, the fifth Cricket World Cup hosted in the UK could be historic in more than one way.
