The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup will be the tenth Cricket World Cup & will be hosted by three South Asian Check cricket playing countries: India, Sri Lanka & 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 happen in the work of February & March 2011, with the first match to be played on 19 February 2011 with co-hosts India & Bangladesh facing off at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
The World Cup was also to be co-hosted by Pakistan, but in the wake of the 2009 assault 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. The headquarters of the organising committee were originally situated in Lahore, but have now been shifted to Mumbai. Pakistan was supposed to hold 14 matches, including one semi-final. Seven of Pakistan's matches have been awarded to India, three to Sri Lanka & seven to Bangladesh.
