India and Pakistan - who have lifted the coveted trophy once - have been placed in Group A alongside hosts USA. Ireland and Canada are the other two teams in the group. In total there will be four groups of five teams each.

Ashes rivals England and Australia find themselves in Group B alongside Namibia, Scotland and Oman. New Zealand, hosts West Indies and ever-improving Afghanistan have been placed in Group C with Papua New Guinea and Uganda.
