Two non-test playing teams competed in the inaugural Cricket World Cup in 1975, Sri Lanka, who went on to be granted test status in 1981, and East Africa. The East African side was a composite of nations, comprising of players from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. The team lost all three of their matches at the World Cup, losing heavily to New Zealand, India and England.

Limited opportunities for the Smaller Cricket Nations

The 1979 tournament saw Canada make their debut in the competition. Like East Africa they were convincingly beaten in all three of their matches, the low point coming as the were dismissed for just 45 by England, although they did manage to take two English wickets before succumbing to inevitable defeat.

The 1983 World Cup saw the test nations, now joined by Sri Lanka, numbering seven. Zimbabwe were the eighth team to play in the tournament, and they themselves went on to gain test status, although not until 1992. The same eight nations contested the 1987 competition, and they were joined only by South Africa, returning from the isolation of the apartheid era, in a nine team tournament in 1992.
