LONDON: Even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat girds for the onslaught of Cyclone Vayu, in faraway England, unseasonal rains have left the ICC and host body ECB at sixes and sevens trying to manage the logistical nightmare the dreary weather has left in its wake.

Three matches have already been abandoned due to rain - two in Bristol in southwest England, one in Southampton in south England - giving this World Cup the dubious honour of already having the most number of washouts in a single edition.
