World T20 to go to Bangladesh in 2014 - Article

The ICC have awarded the next two World Twenty20 tournaments in 2012 and 2014 to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh respectively, while England will host the Champions Trophy in 2013. The 2015 World Cup will be held by Australia and New Zealand and the 2013 Women's World Cup will be played in India. The decisions were announced after a meeting of the ICC board in Singapore.

I'm very excited about the 2015 WC down here (although it's ages away).

Old news buddy But yeah, I can't wait for the WC, tickets to the final I shall get

Surprised we won't be hosting a WT20 or Champions Trophy for yet another while though.

I was just planning to make a thread about this. You could have made the title like 'Sri Lank to host World Twenty20 in 2012 and Bangladesh in 2014'

This is also an interesting sentence:

'In terms of the number of participating teams, it is possible that the World Cup could be reduced and the World Twenty20 expanded.'

2015 I'm set to graduate from college. Maybe I'll do a study abroad down under and follow the Indian team around.

Please have CT Matches at Old Trafford.

From this article you can derive some good news for Bangladesh team. At least they are assured till 2014 from Test cricket.

The ICC wouldn't have given a tournament to host to a non-Test playing nation.

Yeah, because the ICC Knockout Trophy has never been held in pre-Test status Bangladesh or Kenya.

 

[pcfan123]

or the Canadian Quadrangular, and the u15 tournaments are also usually held in associate countries like Malaysia

@ sohum, That was to help cricket grow in countries like Ban, Ken. Those were the days, when cricket was still classy. Now ICC KT is just another ICC tournament for money, and the whole reason it was created in the 1st place is totally out the window, as it's only for Top 8 nations. so WTF..

So was the Asia cup,

 

[sohum]

Well those are less high-profile tournaments. The KnockOut World Cup was the precursor to the Champions Trophy (which I think should be scrapped now because it's just a mini-World Cup and not even a knockout). The KO WC was actually exciting because it was knockout all the way.

I get the feeling that guy is a member on PC
