shows interest in hosting Twenty20 Cricket World Cup:
Posted at 6:34am on 27 Jan 2006
New Zealand Cricket has expressed interest in hosting the inaugural
Twenty20 World Championship.
The tournament is a step closer as the International Cricket Council
revealed that 13 Members have expressed interest in hosting an
event should it be approved by the ICC Board.
Australia, Bermuda, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka,
Thailand, United Arab Emirates and the West Indies have all indicated
their intention to be considered as hosts for an inaugural Twenty20
event while England, Hong Kong, Nepal and Scotland have also expressed
an interest in hosting future events.
ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed says for 18 months the ICC has
been consistently reviewing the role that Twenty20 Cricket could
play internationally and this response indicates that there is
strong interest from many parts of the Cricket world in this type
of event.
Twenty20 Cricket will first be discussed in Dubai at the ICC Chief
Executives' Committee meeting next month before the ICC Board
meeting, also in Dubai, in March.
