ICC announces World T20 2010 Groups and Venues | World T20 Cricket Schedule

Posted on 05. Jul, 2009 by Diego in Cricket

ICC has announced the World T20 2010 Groups and Venues which starts in April at West Indies. 2009 World T20 Champions Pakistan are grouped together with Australia and Bangladesh in Group A. Indians are in Group C along with South Africa and one qualifier. England have been grouped with hosts West Indies and one qualifier in the World Twenty20 tournament in 2010.

The tournament will be staged at four venues - Barbados, Guyana, St Kitts and St Lucia - and the final will be played at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on May 16. The West Indies, who knocked England out of this year’s tournament, will open the competition on 30 April. The ICC decided to stage Twenty20 World Cups in successive years to avoid having two major events in 2011, when the one-day World Cup is scheduled to be played in South Asia.
