The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup will be the tenth Cricket
World Cup, and will be hosted by three South Asian Test
cricket playing countries; India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
It will be Bangladesh's first time co-hosting a Cricket
World Cup. The World Cup will use cricket's One Day
International format, with fourteen national cricket teams
scheduled to compete. The World Cup will take place during
the months of February and March 2011, with the first match
being played on 19 February 2011.[1]
The World Cup was originally to have been hosted by
Pakistan as well, but in the wake of the 2009 attack on the
Sri Lanka national cricket team in Lahore, the capital of
the Pakistani province of Punjab, the International Cricket
Council (ICC) were forced to strip Pakistan of its hosting
rights.[2] The headquarters of the organising committee
were originally situated in Lahore, but have now been
shifted to Mumbai.[3] Pakistan was supposed to hold 14
matches, including one semi-final. [4] 8 of Pakistan's
Matches have been awarded to India, 4 to Sri Lanka and 2 to
Bangladesh.[5]
