ICC T20 World Cup 2016 Venues: ICC happy with Eden progress for World T20 finals

The detail schedule of the World Twenty20 in March-April next year will be announced in Mumbai on Friday.

The International Cricket Council inspection team foresees “no roadblock” in Eden Gardens hosting the ICC World Twenty20 finals, even as it’s learnt that they want two more dressing rooms in the venue.

Led by ICC head of events, Chris Tetley and BCCI tournament director M.V. Sridhar, a joint team today did an inspection of the venue and they asserted that there’s absolutely “no problem”.

It’s, however, learnt that the ICC has suggested for two more dressing rooms in order to accommodate the women’s teams as the World T20 men’s and women’s finals will be held on the same day but in different sessions.

“Today has been extremely positive and we’re really looking forward to the World Twenty20 to be played here,” Tetley told a news conference after a marathon recce that went on for more than five hours.

Asked whether the Eden got ICC’s green signal, Tetley said: “It’s not a matter of green signal, it’s a matter of discussing preparations on all aspects of staging the tournament. I don’t foresee any roadblocks.”

Tetley was also part of the 2011 ICC World Cup inspection team that had rejected the Eden to host the India-England first match on February 27.

“I don’t think we need to look back at (50 overs) Cricket World Cup. We’re looking forward towards the World Twenty20 and I’m quite certain that it will be a very successful tournament, staged here at Eden Gardens,” Tetley said.

“These are two different tournaments we look at the venues in a totally different way. There’s absolutely no problem. There’re no problems,” he said.

“There’re many things you need for the ICC World Twenty20 which may not fit the normal template of a cricket venue. We look at the existing facilities and we discuss between ourselves with BCCI and CAB and how best we achieve what we need to,” Tetley said in the joint news conference with Sridhar and CAB joint-secretary Avishek Dalmiya.

Assuring that the dressing room was a non-issue, Dalmiya said: “It’s all about arrangements and rearrangements. We’re not talking about any new construction of dressing room or anything like that. The meeting was more about coordination.”

The detail schedule of the World Twenty20 in March-April next year will be announced in Mumbai on Friday.

“The schedule will be announced tomorrow in Mumbai but as you all know it’s been already indicated the finals will be in Kolkata,” World Twenty20 tournament director Sridhar said.

“I think we’ve successfully identified and we’re comfortable. There’s no problem at all.”

T20 World Cup 2016 News: Starc may miss World T20 after ankle surgery

The fast bowler Starc is in doubt for the event after surgery confirmed.

Mitchell Starc is in doubt for Australia’s World Twenty20 campaign with the fast bowler to undergo ankle surgery. Cricket Australia on Thursday confirmed the left-armer, whose foot injury has ruled him out from the current Test series against the West Indies, has met with specialists and will go under the knife for the separate problem.

“We believe the best course of action would be for Mitchell to have the surgery for his ankle impingement now while he is currently laid off with the stress fracture in his foot,” team physiotherapist David Beakley said.

His return-to-play timeframes will be clearer once the surgery is completed but it is unlikely he will be available for the ICC World T20.

That tournament starts in India on March 11 and if Starc is not fit in time, his likely return to international cricket will be Australia’s tour of the West Indies in June.

Bone spurs in Starc’s right ankle have been managed throughout the year but caused the 25-year-old obvious discomfort in the closing days of Australia’s November three-Test series against New Zealand.

Head selector Rod Marsh has already ruled out Starc for Australia’s February two-Test tour of NZ.

“In an ideal world we’d like to have him playing in the (T20) World Cup. It may happen,” Marsh said at the start of December.

A date for Starc’s surgery will be confirmed in coming days.

Brendon McCullum is the captain of the New Zealand Black Caps. He is one of the fiercest players in the T20 format and has many records to his name in this format. He has served his country for many years. But he is 35 years of age and hence he may well retire from at least the T20 format after the World Cup. But his legacy in the game will always remain.

Shahid Afridi

Shahid Afridi is the great Pakistani all-rounder who has served Pakistan for the last two decades. Fondly known as Boom Boom Afridi, he is a great performer in the T20 format. He retired from the One-Day cricket last year and has announced his retirement from the T20 format as well.

Ross Taylor

Ross Taylor has been hitting those sixes on the leg side and destroying bowling attacks since many years now. But he now wants to focus on the other formats of the game and will hence be one of the greatest players to retire from International cricket in 2016.

MS Dhoni

Dhoni is the best Captain in the history of Indian cricket and the best finisher whose skills are of unmatched value in a T20 game. But he has always mentioned that he may not play cricket for a long time and he proved it with his retirement from Test Cricket. And if he takes India to glory and wins the T20 World Cup, then we can expect him to be one of the players to Retire after 2016 T20 World Cup.

Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka)

It might be a shock for cricket fans but Lasith Malinga might join the list of players to Retire after 2016 T20 World Cup. Age is not an issue but Malinga has been prone to injuries. That is the only reason that the Sri Lankan speed-machine might quit his international career after the T20 World Cup that will take place in India.

Misbah-ul-Haq (Pakistan)

The powerhouse of Pakistan’s batting squad is Misbah-ul-Haq. He has improved as a cricketer over the years to lead the Pakistan team to victory. The 40-year-old would surely retire after the T20 World Cup 2016. He has been amazing as a captain and batmen throughout his cricketing career.
