ICC World Cup 2019 - When are the fixtures going to be released?

[Deewana]

2015 WC fixtures were released in June or July of 2013 so since we are just about 2 years away from the mega event hence when will the fixtures come out ?
where will india-pak play ? (as per reports they will play in london stadium - west hams home ground) though i would like it to be played in Lords

I'm surprised they wouldn't wait until the auto-qualifiers are announced. That way you only have two teams to work out (#9 and #10).

world cup 2015 schedules were also announced before the qualifiers , the qualifiers were mentioned as q1 , q2 and so on

i hope icc somehow expand the tournament to 11 teams .
though that will mean their will be 66 matches in pool stage which will be acceptable (as compared to 45 with 10 teams) i hope that zimbabwe wi and afg make it to the WC also want ireland to make it..though i like this single pool thing but really poor from icc to cut it down to 10 teams 12 teams would have been much more better though we would have had 66 matches in the pool stage than..but could have easily played 2 matches per day through out the tournament..and after all its the world cup it is the thing that cricket fans around globe wait for not meaningless JAMODIs..
12 team tournament with a single pool would have been epic

I personally felt 2011 and 2015 did the right thing by having the number of teams they had in each group, I thought that worked really well. Don't really like having the number of teams cut down.

the format wasn't really fair any team could beat only the minows in group stage reach the QFs and than luckly have 3 great days and be the world champions ( but thankfully didn't work out that way and both tournys were won by pre tournament favs infact both pre tournament favs made the finals both times and bith being co hosts)
i feel 99 and 03 WC had the right format super six was the way to go.
the 07 WC format was absolute comedy any team could have a bad day (like india pak had) and that meant they were all but out of tournament

I personally just liked the idea that we could face weak teams that we normally don't see and also face the tough top 8 mainstream teams that everyone knows about, but yeah something needs to be done so that the knockout stages would only include those who thoroughly deserve to be there.
