World Cup 2011: India, SL and Bangladesh to host

Leave a Comment
Cricket World Cup 2011 will be held in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The one-day international tournament will not be co-hosted by Pakistan, following the terrorist attack on Sri Lankan cricketers in Lahore. Pakistan were due to co-host the prestigious event; but the uncertain security situation has forced ICC to strip the hosting rights.

The 14 matches originally scheduled in Pakistan has been re-allocated to India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The re-allocation of matches to the three countries is as follows:

India - 29 matches (including the final, one semi-final and one quarter-final)
Sri Lanka - 12 matches (including one semi-final and one quarter-final)
Bangladesh - 8 matches (including two quarter-finals)
