The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup was the tenth Cricket World Cup. It wasplayed in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. It was Bangladesh's first timeco-hosting a World Cup. The World Cup was also supposed to be co-hostedby Pakistan, but in the wake of the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national
cricket team in Lahore, the International Cricket Council The headquartersof the organising committee were originally situated in Lahore, but have nowbeen shifted to Mumbai. Pakistan was supposed to hold 14 matches, includingone semi-final. Eight of Pakistan's matches (including the semi-final) wereawarded to India, four to Sri Lanka and two to Bangladesh.

The ICC originally announced its decision as to which countries would hostthe 2011 World Cup on 30 April 2006. Australia and New Zealand also bidfor the tournament, and a successful Australasian bid for the 2011 WorldCup would have seen a 5050 split in games, with the final still up for
negotiation. The TransTasman bid, Beyond Boundaries, was the only bid for2011 delivered to ICC headquarters in Dubai ahead of the 1 March deadline.Considerable merits of the Australasian bid were the superior venues andinfrastructure and the total support of both the New Zealand andAustralian governments on tax and customs issues during the tournament,according to Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland. The NewZealand government had also given assurance that Zimbabwe would beallowed to compete in the tournament, following political discussions in thecountry 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 tohand over its bid compliance book had harmed the four-nation bid. However,when the time came to vote, Asia won the hosting rights by seven votes tothree. The Pakistan Cricket Board has revealed that it was the vote of theWest Indies Cricket Board that swung the matter, as the Asian bid had thesupport of the four bidding countries along with South Africa and Zimbabwe.It was reported in Pakistani newspaper Dawn that the Asian countriespromised to hold fund-raising events for West Indian cricket during the
2007 World Cup, which may have influenced the vote. that there "was noquid pro quo for their support", and that playing the West Indies had"nothing to do with the World Cup bid". However, chairman of theMonitoring Committee of the Asian bid, I. S. Bindra, said it was theirpromise of extra profits in the region of US$400 million that swung thevote,
The ICC prefers to rotate World Cup venues between major cricket playingnations. The World Cups have been hosted by England (three times: 1975,
1979, 1983), India/Pakistan (1987), Australia/New Zealand (1992),India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka (1996), England/Netherlands (1999), SouthAfrica/Zimbabwe/Kenya) (2003) and West Indies (2007). For the 2011World Cup Australia/New Zealand were a strong contender ahead ofIndia/Pakistan/Sri Lanka/Bangladesh because they had not hosted a WorldCup since 1992. In the final voting India won because they argued that since

they were a bigger group of countries they should be assigned a World Cupmore frequently. Australia/New Zealand were awarded the 2015 World Cup.
Format
Late in 2007, the four host nations agreed upon a revised format for the2011 World Cup identical to the 1996 World Cup, the only change being thenumber of teams: it was 12 in 1996 and 14 in 2011. The first round of thetournament will be a round-robin in which the 14 teams are divided into twogroups of 7 teams each. The 7 teams play each other once with the top 4from each group qualifying for the quarter-finals. The format ensures thateach team gets to play a minimum of 6 matches even if they are ruled out ofthe tournament due to early defeats.
Qualification:
As per ICC regulations, all 10 full members automatically qualify for theWorld Cup, including Zimbabwe who have given up their Test playing statusuntil the standard of their team improves.
The ICC also organised a qualifying tournament in South Africa to determinewhich Associate teams would participate in 2011 event. Ireland, who hadbeen the best performing Associate nation since the last World Cup, won thetournament, beating Canada in the final. The Netherlands and Kenya alsoqualified by virtue of finishing third and fourth respectively.

Preparations
Pakistan loses co-host status
In April 2009 the ICC announced that Pakistan had lost its right to co-hostthe 2011 World Cup due to ongoing concerns about the "uncertain securitysituation" prevailing in the country, especially in the aftermath of the 2009attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team in Lahore.
It is estimated that the PCB will lose $10.5 million due to the tournamentbeing taken away from them. This figure only includes the match-fee of$750,000 per match guaranteed by the ICC. The overall loss to the PCB andthe Pakistani economy is expected to be much greater.
On 9 April 2009, PCB chairman Ijaz Butt revealed that they had issued alegal notice to oppose ICC's decision. However, the ICC claims that PCB isstill a co-host and they have only shifted the matches out of Pakistan.2015World Cup and Australia/New Zealand host 2011, however this option did notfind favour with their co-hosts and hence didn't materialise. Pakistan had
proposed that South Asia host the
Allocation of matches
On 11 April 2005, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan Theoriginal plan involved India hosting the final, while Pakistan and Sri Lankawould host the semi-finals. and the opening ceremony will take place inBangladesh. announced an agreement about the allocation of games.
After being stripped of its co-host status, Pakistan made the bid to host itshome games in the cities of UAE as a neutral home venue. This is a result ofPakistan playing matches in the preceding months in Abu Dhabi,DubaiSharjah. The pitches in these stadiums have also been developed tosuit the Pakistani players. and

However, on 28 April 2009, the ICC announced the re-allocation of matchesoriginally intended to be played in Pakistan. As a result, India hosted 29matches across eight venues including the final and one semi-final; Sri Lankahosted 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.
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 thetournament's Central Organising Committee in Mumbai. The tickets werepriced affordably, with the cheapest costing 20 US cents in Sri Lanka, thecommittee said. In January 2011, the ICC declared the Eden Gardens groundin Kolkata, India to be unfit and unlikely to be complete by 27 February whenit was scheduled to host a match between India and England. As a result, thematch was moved to Bangalore.

The political party Shiv Sena threatened to disrupt the match ifPakistan had reached the final in Mumbai.
The Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS) came under scrutinywhen Indian skipper MS Dhoni complained about inconsistencies about
the 2.5m rule in the LBW dismissal appeal for Ian Bell's wicket duringthe India-England match in the group stage which eventually ended ina tie. The rules were subsequently revised and the umpires were givennew guidelines. Subsequently, Sri Lanka captain, Kumar Sangakkaracriticized the decision to alter 2.5m rule during an ongoingtournament.
In the final between India and Sri Lanka, there was a mix up at thetoss. Due to the loud crowd noise, match referee Jeff Crowe couldn'thear the Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara's call as the coin was
tossed by the Indian captain MS Dhoni and as a result the toss had tobe redone - a virtually unheard of event, especially on a stage as big asthe World Cup Final. The next time, the call was heads andSangakkara won the toss and decided to bat first.
