In a major step towards preparing for the 2011 ICC World Cup, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has nominated two venues for holding the matches of the tournament.
After it's board of directors' meeting yesterday at Mirpur, the BCB revealed that Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur and Fatullah Cricket Stadium would be the venues for holding matches of the showcase event which will be co-hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
"The BCB president [Lt Gen Sina Ibn Jamali] apprised the board that after his meeting with the state minister for youth and sports recently it was decided that the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur and the Narayanganj Osmani Stadium, Fatullah will be the nominated venues for holding matches of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011," a BCB statement said.
The opening ceremony of the cricket's biggest extravaganza will be held at the Bangabandhu National Stadium while alternate venues will be developed in Chittagong and Khulna from BCB's own resources.
Bangladesh got a bigger share of matches after Pakistan was stripped of its co-hosts status following security concerns.
Bangladesh will now stage eight matches including two quarterfinals as well as the opening ceremony on February 18, 2011. India will host 29 of the 49 matches across eight venues including the final and a semifinal and Sri Lanka will host 12 matches in three venues.
