The two groups of the Super 10 stage are: Super 10 (S10) Groups (Based on teams’ rankings on the Reliance ICC T20I Team Rankings as on 8 October 2012) Group 1 – Sri Lanka, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Group B Qualifier 1 (Q1B) Group 2 – West Indies, India, Pakistan, Australia, Group A Qualifier 1 (Q1A) Reigning champion the West Indies will launch its title defence against India in an evening match on Sunday 23 March.

[1983-2011 11]

move it to England

[bulbul 798]

Anywhere but SL

[King Khan 12]

I think if they clear BPL payment properly, this issue will be solved easily.

[carnish 35]

move it to England

:hysterical::hysterical:

[Old guy 158]

south africa is always good why not india or australia ?

[carnish 35]

Its sad to see Bangladesh not able to bring in the infrastructure but they have a very good fan base and I am pretty sure we will see full grounds for most games there. Can't say the same about Sri Lanka though. Not Sri Lanka anyways, cricket played in that country is usually so boring. Get South Africa to hold it .. Will be fun or maybe we can get Zimbabwe, South Africa and Kenya to host it combiningly like 2003 WC.

[G_B_ 2,155]

move it to england :)

[Sachin=GOD 20]

move it to England

:cantstop:

[cowboysfan 765]

Anywhere but SL

we will go undefeated again if it is moved to sri lanka,there is no team team which can even challenge us.

[StriKe 1,175]

India

[I6MTW 195]

Is 2016 t20 wc in cherrapunji?

[Sean Bradley 325]

Just a speculation, it isnt confirmed yet, next inspection is in september, go BCB go :cheer:

[SLICKR392 722]

2007 WC in SA was a blast!! They should host again.

[jf1gp_1 947]

Just curious why doesn't new Zealand get to host such thing one there own ? T20 WC is lot of money they even have a good team for that format , have they hosted anything since 92 world cup

[adi B 4,650]

saf please no lanka,sh1t atmosphere,pathetic noise of vuvuzuelas and OTTOT those ugly soorpanakhas dancing on crappy lungan music :facepalm:

[Cricashfaq 10]

I'd prefer Sri Lanka as it is an advantage for India and ofcourse, the host team (Sri Lanka) will not win...HAHAHAHA *FOREVER RUNNERS-UP*:haha:

[StriKe 1,175]

Adam Mountford ‏@tmsproducer 3m Bangladesh must prove it can stage 2014 World T20 by August otherwise it will be moved (probably to South Africa)

[cowboysfan 765]

Bangbros better shape up,i dont want to play in SA.

[Vilander 7,423]

they can host it in bd , kolkata, guwahati, ranchi,

[Vilander 7,423]

give some part of the Indian leg collections still to BD, don't deprive them of the chance..they need this to grow

[carnish 35]

Cricbuzz saying Dalmiya has offered ICC to move WT20 2014 to India If Bangladesh fail to host it ... Will be good having back to back WT20s in India.

[G_B_ 2,155]

I guess what can happen is India hosts 2014 T20 WC BD hosts 2016 T20 WC. This gives BD 2 more years to sort their **** out.

[carnish 35]

I guess what can happen is India hosts 2014 T20 WC BD hosts 2016 T20 WC. This gives BD 2 more years to sort their **** out.

Not happening ... India won't let 2016 get off its hands

[G_B_ 2,155]

hmm dont you think thats overkill of events in india?

[Sidhoni 1,599]

What about NZ? Small grounds, big sixes :woot:

[carnish 35]

hmm dont you think thats overkill of events in india?

Yup, but it doesn't matter what I think ... What matters is how BCCI will rake in the moolah

[StriKe 1,175]

The IDI Board reviewed an inspection report by the ICC Venue Consultant on the venues for the ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014 and accepted the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s request to extend the deadline for the completion of the stadia till 30 November 2013.

[Zanjeer 10]

Hope its not south Africa. They would prepare bowling pitches for India 's matches since India has cancelled SA tour.

[Cricketics 8,462]

South Africa has been great host. Let them host or move it to New Zealand. Should be kind of dress rehearsal for 50 over wc to come, if NZ hosts it, Lanka has hosted many tournaments, so it will be better if someone else is allowed to host. Won't mind England though.

[Tiger-Don 10]

ICC World T20 2014 Lets gather all the news and fixtures of this upcoming grand event on this thread. So its not very far away but why haven't the fixtures been decided yet?

[StriKe 1,175]

Not sure when it was taken but here is the article http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-new-zealand-2013-14/content/current/story/681395.html

The venue of the only T20 international in the Bangladesh-New Zealand series has been shifted from the Sylhet Stadium to the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur due to construction work at the original venue. It will be played as per schedule on November 6.

Edit : Pic date Aug 16, 2013

[SLICKR392 722]

WT20 is boring in SC.

[G_B_ 2,155]

@strike ok then probably will make it just on time.

[StriKe 1,175]

@strike ok then probably will make it just on time.

hope so..outfield looks good :agree:

[moniker 132]

move it to England

:hysterical::hysterical:

:cantstop:

I don't get the joke. :(

[RedFever 42]

cancel the tournament, players need rest before the IPL :icflove:

[Lord 1,221]

I think T20 WCs should be held in associate nations to spread the game have it in Zim or Ireland

[carnish 35]

I don't get the joke. :(

50% games get washed away by rain during the English summer .... This tournament is during march when it rains a lot in England ... Hosting the tournament in england would mean another shortened final like the champions trophy final.

[Tiger-Don 10]

ICC General Manager – Commercial, Campbell Jamieson, who attended the fixtures and ticket sales launch ceremony in Dhaka on Sunday, said: “The ICC World Twenty20 is the pinnacle of Twenty20 International cricket as it brings together the world’s best cricketers in a short and sharp nation versus nation tournament. “The successes of the previous editions in South Africa, England, the West Indies and Sri Lanka have proven the popularity of this tournament, and it is exciting that this event will now be staged in a country like Bangladesh which has a very proud cricketing tradition. “As regards to tickets, these will go on sale from 10 November and both the ICC and the BCB have ensured the prices are affordable and maximum tickets are available to the general public.” Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Nazmul Hassan said: “We are a cricket-crazy nation. The game of cricket is probably one of the strongest unifying factors in this country. Through cricket we showcase our passion, spread our message of harmony and welcome everyone with open arms to our land. “With the launch of ticket sales and unveiling of the schedule we are inviting the people in Bangladesh and all around the globe to visit our stadiums, support their teams and to feel the spectacular mix of colours Dhaka, Sylhet and Chittagong offer. After all the action and the fanfare had subsided I hope you will have a lasting memory of this country and its hospitality.” Sale of tickets and international tour and travel packages Tickets will go on sale from 10 November and will be available via the ICC website and at nearly 100 official ticket sales counters located in MoneyGram outlets in specific branches of NCC and Agrani banks situated throughout Bangladesh. The ICC and the BCB have appointed Book my Show to manage the ticket sales process. The sales policy will ensure equitable access to purchase tickets for local and overseas fans alike.
