2011 Cricket World Cup

The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup was the tenth Cricket World Cup. It was played in India, Sri Lanka, andBangladesh. It was Bangladesh's first time co-hosting a World Cup. The World Cup was also due to be co-hosted by Pakistan, but in the wake of the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team in Lahore, theInternational Cricket Council (ICC) decided to remove Pakistan from the hosting countries.The headquartersof the organising committee were originally situated in Lahore, but have now been shifted toMumbai.Pakistan was supposed to hold 14 matches, including one semi-final. Eight of Pakistan's matches

(including the semi-final) were awarded to India, four to Sri Lanka and two to Bangladesh.

All matches in the World Cup were accorded One Day International status, with all matches being playedover 50 overs. Fourteen national cricket teams competed in the tournament, including ten full members andfour  associate members. The World Cup took place between 19 February and 2 April 2011, with the firstmatch played on 19 February 2011 with co-hosts India and Bangladesh facing off at the Sher-e-Bangla 

 National Stadium in Mirpur , Dhaka. The opening ceremony was held on 17 February 2011 at Bangabandhu  National Stadium, Dhaka, two days before the start of the tournament, with the final on 2 April 2011 betweenIndia and Sri Lanka at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

 Host selection

The ICC originally announced its decision as to which countries would host the 2011 World Cup on 30 April2006. Australia and New Zealand also bid for the tournament, and a successful Australasian bid for the 2011World Cup would have seen a 50–50 split in games, with the final still up for negotiation. The Trans–Tasman 

 bid, Beyond Boundaries, was the only bid for 2011 delivered to ICC headquarters in Dubai ahead of the 1March deadline. Considerable merits of the Australasian bid were the superior venues and infrastructure andthe total support of both the New Zealand and Australian governments on tax and customs issues during thetournament, according to Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland.[11] The New Zealandgovernment had also given assurance that Zimbabwe would be allowed to compete in the tournament,following political discussions in the country over whether their cricket team should be allowed to tour  

Zimbabwe in 2005.

ICC President Ehsan Mani said the extra time taken by the Asian block to hand over its bid compliance book had harmed the four-nation bid. However, when the time came to vote, Asia won the hosting rights by sevenvotes to three.[11] The Pakistan Cricket Board has revealed that it was the vote of the West Indies Cricket Board that swung the matter, as the Asian bid had the support of the four bidding countries along with SouthAfrica and Zimbabwe.[12] It was reported in Pakistani newspaper  Dawn that the Asian countries promised tohold fund-raising events for West Indian cricket during the 2007 World Cup, which may have influenced thevote.[13]  However, chairman of the Monitoring Committee of the Asian bid, I. S. Bindra, said it was their 

 promise of extra profits in the region of US$400 million that swung the vote,[14]  that there "was no quid proquo for their support",[15] and that playing the West Indies had "nothing to do with the World Cup bid".[15]

The ICC prefers to rotate World venues between major cricket playing nations. The World Cups have beenhosted by England (three times: 1975, 1979, 1983), India/Pakistan (1987), Australia/New Zealand (1992),India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka (1996), England/Netherlands (1999), South Africa/Zimbabwe/Kenya) (2003) andWest Indies (2007). For the 2011 World Cup Australia/New Zealand were a strong contender ahead of India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka/Bangladesh because they had not hosted a World Cup since 1992. In the final votingIndia won because they argued that since they were a bigger group of countries they should be assigned aWorld Cup more frequently. Australia/New Zealand were awarded the 2015 World Cup.

Late in 2007, the four host nations agreed upon a revised format for the 2011 World Cup identical to the 1996World Cup, the only change being the number of teams: it was 12 in 1996 and 14 in 2011. The first round of the tournament will be a round-robin in which the 14 teams are divided into two groups of 7 teams each. The7 teams play each other once with the top 4 from each group qualifying for the quarter-finals. [16] The formatensures that each team gets to play a minimum of 6 matches even if they are ruled out of the tournament due

to early defeats.

QualificationAs per ICC regulations, all 10 full members automatically qualify for the World Cup, including Zimbabwewho have given up their Test playing status until the standard of their team improves.[17]

The ICC also organised a qualifying tournament in South Africa to determine which Associate teams would

 participate in 2011 event. Ireland, who had been the best performing Associate nation since the last WorldCup, won the tournament, beating Canada in the final. The Netherlands and Kenya also qualified by virtue of finishing third and fourth respectively.[18]

The following 14 teams qualified for the final tournament.

 Pakistan loses co-host 

 statusIn April 2009 the ICC announced that Pakistan had lost its right to co-host the 2011 World Cup due toongoing concerns about the "uncertain security situation" prevailing in the country, especially in the aftermathof the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team in Lahore.[19][20]

It is estimated that the PCB will lose $10.5 million due to the tournament being taken away from them.[21] Thisfigure only includes the match-fee of $750,000 per match guaranteed by the ICC. The overall loss to the PCBand the Pakistani economy is expected to be much greater.

On 9 April 2009, PCB chairman Ijaz Butt revealed that they had issued a legal notice to oppose ICC'sdecision.[22] However, the ICC claims that PCB is still a co-host and they have only shifted the matches out of Pakistan.[23] Pakistan had proposed that South Asia host the 2015 World Cup and Australia/New Zealand host2011, however this option did not find favour with their co-hosts and hence didn't materialise. [24]

 Allocation of matchesOn 11 April 2005, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan announced an agreement about theallocation of games.[25] The original plan involved India hosting the final, while Pakistan and Sri Lanka wouldhost the semi-finals.[26] and the opening ceremony will take place in Bangladesh.[27]

After being stripped of its co-host status, Pakistan made the bid to host its home games in the cities of  UAE asa neutral home venue. This is a result of Pakistan playing matches in the preceding months in Abu Dhabi,Dubai and Sharjah. The pitches in these stadiums have also been developed to suit the Pakistani players.

However, on 28 April 2009, the ICC announced the re-allocation of matches originally intended to be playedin Pakistan. As a result, India hosted 29 matches across eight venues including the final and one semi-final;Sri Lanka hosted 12 in three venues, including one semi-final; while Bangladesh staged eight at two grounds

as well as the opening ceremony on 17 February 2011.[28]

On 1 June 2010, the first phase of tickets for the 2011 World Cup in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh were put on sale following a meeting of the tournament's Central Organising Committee in Mumbai. The ticketswere priced affordably, with the cheapest costing 20 US cents in Sri Lanka, the committee said.[29] In January2011, the ICC declared the Eden Gardens ground in Kolkata, India to be unfit and unlikely to be complete by27 February when it was scheduled to host a match between India and England. As a result, the match wasmoved to Bangalore.[30]

Incidents• The West Indies' team bus had rocks thrown at it by Bangladeshi fans on its way back to the teamhotel after their win over Bangladesh in Dhaka on 4 March. It was later claimed that the rock-throwers hadconfused the Windies' bus with the Bangladesh bus.[46] Bangladesh’s elite Rapid Action Battalion arrested38 people after the attack. However, the Windies were given an apology from the Bangladeshis later on. [47]

• On 8 March, fans who lined up outside the Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground in  Nagpur  to buytickets of the match between India and South Africa were caned by the local police.[48]

• The political party Shiv Sena threatened to disrupt the match if Pakistan had reached the final inMumbai.[49]

• The Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS) came under scrutiny when Indian skipper  MS Dhoni complained[50] about inconsistencies about the 2.5m rule in the LBW dismissal appeal for Ian Bell's wicketduring the India-England match in the group stage which eventually ended in a tie. The rules were

subsequently revised and the umpires were given new guidelines. [51] Subsequently, Sri Lanka captain,Kumar Sangakkara criticised the decision to alter 2.5m rule during an ongoing tournament.• In the final between India and Sri Lanka, there was a mix up at the toss. Due to the loud crowd noise,match referee Jeff Crowe could not hear the Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara's call as the coin wastossed by the Indian captain MS Dhoni and as a result the toss had to be redone – a virtually unheard of event, especially on a stage as big as the World Cup final. The next time, the call was heads andSangakkara won the toss and decided to bat first.[52]
