2015 Cricket World Cup: Google Doodle Celebrates the Start of Mega Event

Google latest Doodle was unveiled on the eve of the 2015 Cricket World Cup. The image features an umpire, a bowler, two batsmen, a fielder and a wicketkeeper.

Co-hosts Australia and New Zealand kick their campaigns off on February 14. In the first of the two mouth-watering clashes on the opening day, New Zealand host Sri Lanka at Christchurch while Australia take on familiar-foes England at Melbourne Cricket Ground later in the day.

Fourteen teams are competing for the World Cup, including first-timers Afghanistan. The final of the mega event will be played on March 29 in Melbourne.

A total of 49 matches will be played between February 14 and March 29.
