We would encourage everyone involved with the game to experience the best of India.”

The bilateral series between India and Pakistan might have been put on hold but the fans across borders can rejoice after the two arch-rivals have been drawn together in the same group for the ICC World Twenty20 to be held in India next year.

Dharamsala will host the India-Pakistan Group 2 game on March 19, the International Cricket Council announced during the event launch in Mumbai on Friday (December 11).

New Zealand and Australia, the other two teams in India's group, will clash with the hosts in Nagpur (on March 15) and Mohali (on March 27) respectively. India will also play the winner of Group A from the qualifying round on March 23 in Bangalore. Clubbed together in Group A, Bangladesh, Netherlands, Ireland and Oman will fight it out to earn the right to progress to the main round from March 8 to March 13.

Group 1 consists of Sri Lanka, South Africa, West Indies, England and the winner of Group B from qualifiers. Zimbabwe, Scotland, Hong Kong and Afghanistan will fight it out for the last remaining spot in the main round.

The ICC World T20 semifinals will be staged in Delhi and Mumbai on March 30 and March 31 respectively. The final will be held at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 3. No reserve days have been announced for the semifinals, implying that in case of a washout, the team that finishes on top of its respective group will proceed to the final.

The ICC Women's World T20 will also be played in the same window and will be contested by ten teams that have been divided into two groups. Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Ireland have been placed in Group A while England, West Indies, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh form Group B.

Shashank Manohar, the ICC chairman, said that he's confident that the event is going to be another successful one. "India is a country where cricket is a religion and not many places can match the passion for the game like India," he said. "I am fully confident that the Board of Control for Cricket in India will deliver an outstanding world cricket event, just like the ICC Cricket World Cups in 1987, 1996 and 2011.

"The ICC and BCCI are fully committed and will work together to make this a memorable event. I invite fans from across the world to witness fast-paced cricketing action on the field and enjoy the hospitality and culture of India, off it."

Anurag Thakur, the BCCI secretary, acknowledged that preparations are underway and the board is ready to host the event. "We, as hosts, are fully prepared to organise one of the most entertaining spectacles in world cricket," gushed Thakur. "We draw experience from hosting three ICC Cricket World Cups and are ready to make the ICC World Twenty20 India 2016 one of the most memorable events.

"Our preparations are in full swing, and BCCI and ICC is working together to make it a lifetime experience for the players and the fans. India is a vibrant country - young, full of colour, energy and exuberance - and is very much like the concept of Twenty20 cricket itself. We would encourage everyone involved with the game to experience the best of India."

The winner of this edition will be given a prize money of USD 5.6 million, 86 per cent more from the 2014 edition held in Bangladesh that Sri Lanka won by beating India. The total prize money for the women's tournament is going to be USD 400,000, an increase of 122 per cent.

A total of 58 matches - 35 men's and 23 women's - will be played across eight venues and the ICC had announced the venues earlier this year. Bengaluru, Chennai, Dharamsala, Kolkata, Mohali, Mumbai, Nagpur and Delhi will host the games. Chennai is the only venue that will not host any men's games.

The tournament will last from March 15 to April 3. The final has been awarded to Eden Gardens, Kolkata while Mumbai and New Delhi will play host to one semi-final each. The other venues include Bengaluru, Dharamsala, Mohali and Nagpur.

The ICC World T20 2016 hosting rights were awarded to India and will see a total of 16 teams compete in two rounds. The first round will be to determine two teams from a pool of eight to qualify into the tournament proper. The preliminary round to determine the two qualifiers will be Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Scotland, Ireland, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Afghanistan and Oman. Out of these, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe automatically got in the pool on account of being bottom-ranked full members. The other six teams got through on basis of their standings in a 14-team qualifying tournament.

In the table below, Qualifier from Group A of the preliminary stage has been denoted as ‘Q1A’ and the corresponding qualifier from Group B has been referred to as ‘Q1B’. The teams in Group A of the qualifiers include Bangladesh, Netherlands, Ireland and Oman. While, Zimbabwe, Scotland, Hong Kong and Afghanistan are in Group B.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Friday announced the groups and schedule of the ICC World Twenty20 India 2016, which will be staged across eight venues in India from 8 March to 3 April.

A total of 58 tournament matches, including 35 men’s matches and 23 women’s matches, will be played in the 27-day tournament in Bengaluru, Chennai, Dharamsala, Kolkata, Mohali, Mumbai, Nagpur and New Delhi. New Delhi and Mumbai will host the semi-finals on 30 and 31 March, respectively, while Eden Gardens in Kolkata will be the venue of the 3 April finals. The women’s semi-finals and final will be followed by the men’s knock-out matches. There is a reserve day for the finals.

The men’s event will carry a total prize money of $5.6million, which is an 86 per cent increase from the 2014 tournament, while the total prize money for the women’s event is $400,000, which is a 122 per cent increase from the Bangladesh event.

There have been five different winners of the men’s event while the England women’s team won the inaugural tournament at home in 2009 before Australia won three straight titles in the West Indies, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in 2010, 2012 and 2014, respectively.

According to the men’s event format, eight sides in two groups of four, will feature in the first round matches with the group winners joining eight sides in the Super 10 stage (two groups of five teams). The top two sides from both the Super 10 Groups will then qualify for the semi-finals. In the women’s event, the 10 sides will be divided into two groups and the top two sides from each group will progress to the semi-finals.

The first round matches in the men’s event will take place in Dharamsala and Nagpur from 8-13 March and will feature Bangladesh, Netherlands, Ireland, debutant Oman (all in Group A), Zimbabwe, Scotland, Hong Kong and Afghanistan (all in Group B). In a double-header on the opening day on 8 March, Zimbabwe will face Hong Kong in the afternoon match, to be followed by the evening match between Scotland and Afghanistan. Both the matches will be played in Nagpur.

The group winners will join Australia, England, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies and host India in the Super 10 stage, which will be played alongside the women’s event from 15-28 March.

Men’s defending champion Sri Lanka has been placed in Super 10 Group 1 along with South Africa, West Indies, England and the Group B winner. It will open its title defence against the Group B winner in Kolkata on 17 March, and play West Indies in Bengaluru on 20 March, England in New Delhi on 26 March and South Africa in New Delhi on 28 March.

Host India, which won the inaugural tournament in South Africa in 2007, is in Super 10 Group 2 along with 2009 winner Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand and the Group A winner. India will launch its campaign in Nagpur against New Zealand on 15 March, while it will go head to head with Pakistan in Dharamsala on 19 March. Its other matches will be against the Group A winner in Bengaluru on 23 March and Australia in Mohali on 27 March.

2009 champion Pakistan will take on the Group A winner in Kolkata on 16 March, before locking horns with traditional rival India in Dharamsala on 19 March. Its remaining two matches will be in Mohali against New Zealand and Australia on 22 and 25 March, respectively.

England, which won the 2010 tournament in the West Indies, takes on 2012 winner the West Indies in Mumbai on 16 March, followed by matches against South Africa (18 March in Mumbai), the Group B winner (23 March in New Delhi) and Sri Lanka (26 March in New Delhi).

After taking on England in its tournament opener, the West Indies will square off against Sri Lanka (20 March in Bengaluru), South Africa (25 March in Nagpur) and the Group B winner (27 March in Nagpur).

ICC Chairman Mr Shashank Manohar, who attended the launch ceremony in Mumbai, said: “India is a country where cricket is a religion and not many places can match the passion for the game like India.

“The ICC and BCCI are fully committed and will work together to make this a memorable event. I invite fans from across the world to witness fast-paced cricketing action on the field and enjoy the hospitality and culture of India, off it.”

ICC Chief Executive David Richardson said: “The ICC World Twenty20 is an event which puts the world’s best cricketers in the shortest format of the game against each other in a nation versus nation contest.

“The Twenty20 format provides the perfect vehicle by which the ICC can further globalise the game, providing international exposure and opportunity to our top Associate and Affiliate members. The ICC World Twenty20 event structure is designed to provide highly competitive matches throughout, with eight evenly-matched sides fighting it out in the first round and the best two then getting in the mix with the top eight ranked teams in the Super 10 stage where the intensity and competition will be of the very highest level.”

BCCI Secretary Mr Anurag Thakur said: “We, as hosts, are fully prepared to organise one of the most entertaining spectacles in world cricket. We draw experience from hosting three ICC Cricket World Cups and are ready to make the ICC World Twenty20 India 2016 one of the most memorable events.
