World Cup executive director Ali Bacher yesterday defended the decision to include four minor teams in the tournament and said he would like even more teams included next time.
Bacher said expanding the event from 12 to 14 teams had "not devalued this event".
He added: "I think that the Canadian teamhas brought a touch of freshness to certain parts of the tournament, Holland too, and Namibia - Namibia played very well against England.
"If we had 16 teams, you would probably end up with four sections which, from a time point of view, would be shorter, which would be better.
"It's just a thought, it won't be my decision."
The inclusion of two extra minor teams stretched the cup to more than six weeks.
Although Canadian offspinner John Davison scored the fastest-yet World Cup century and Kenya beat Sri Lanka, the minnows have struggled with the step up in class, with some commentators suggesting the World Cup should be cut back to eight teams. Of the first 40 games in the tournament, 25 involved at least one minor side.
Kenya and Zimbabwe are expected to struggle in the Super Sixes. Both were helped in qualifying when other sides forfeited matches.
Bacher also argued that it would have been a logistical nightmare to organise reserve days in case of rain during the first round. He said rain interfered only twice in 40 games.
