The International Cricket Council (ICC) will decide the venue for the 2011 World Cup in June next year.
Under the existing rotation system, Australia and New Zealand are scheduled as co-hosts in 2011 but India are leading a push for the event to be staged on the sub-continent.
The ICC board completed a two-day meeting in Sydney and, while no decision or application was made on the 2011 hosts, the board agreed to make their decision at Lord's next year.
"No decision was made on awarding any event to any country or countries post-2007 and no submissions to stage any such events were received," the ICC said in a statement.
"It was agreed that any country or countries wishing to be awarded an ICC event would have to provide evidence of compliance in four key areas related to holding such an event -- tax, facilities, visas and venues."
Asian cricket chief Jagmohan Dalmiya has proposed that every third World Cup be held on the sub-continent because the region provides four of the world's 10 Test playing nations, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
The ICC also discussed the possibility of changing their five-year playing calendar to six years after complaints the current time frame is too congested but no decision was reached.
The board also ordered further investigations into the possibility of including cricket at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi as well as looking at the future of Twenty20 cricket.
The next World Cup will take place in West Indies in 2007.
