The ICC Cricket World Cup on Thursday marked its 43rd year of existence since its inception on June 7, 1975. The inaugural 60-over tournament that was contested among eight nations in England saw the West Indies emerge champions while Australia finished runners-up. New Zealand batsman Glenn Turner scored 333 runs to become the leading run-scorer while Australian Gary Gilmour scalped 11 wickets to become the highest wicket-taker.
ICC on the occasion tweeted: "#OnThisDay in 1975, the first ever men's @cricketworldcup began!"
