The most awaited cricket world cup, 2011
Finally, the biggest tournament in world cricket returns to the sub-continent for a third time in just over two decades. But last month, ICC has ditched Pakistan due to security concerns.
For the record, England has hosted the ODI World Cup four times; Australia-New Zealand, South Africa and West Indies once each; so in that affect, the Indian sub-continent hosting its third tournament just strengthens the widely held belief as to where all the money is coming from.
Facts:
• Of the 49 matches due to take place in the tournament, 29 will be played in India, 12 in Sri Lanka and eight in Bangladesh.
• A total of 13 venues will be used for the tournament.
• Bangladesh will stage two of the four quarter-finals, with India and Sri Lanka hosting one each.
• The two semi-finals will be staged in India and Sri Lanka, with the final in India.
• The budget for Cricket World Cup 2011 could range from 40 million to 50 million US dollars.
