Is there any truth in this?

Daily Mail (a well known tabloid based in United Kingdom that specializes in fake news) has claimed that the BCCI is pressuring ICC to revert to a 10-team setup for the 2027 ODI World Cup, despite the decision previously to expand it to a 14-team tournament. Several questions remain unanswered. How can the BCCI make such a demand? If there is such a demand, then most probably it would have come from Disney-Star, who hold the media rights for this tournament. Anyway, I don't think that the ICC can implement a roll-back now, after going public with details about the 2027 edition.
