Mumbai to host 2011 cricket world cup final
The organising committee for the 2011 Cricket World Cup has said that the inaugural ceremony of the mega event will be held in Dhaka, while Lahore and Colombo will host the semi-finals and finals will be held in Mumbai. It has also promised a spectator-friendly tournament with affordable ticket prices.
India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will be co-hosting the month-long extravaganza in four years' time. "We promise a spectator-and media-friendly World Cup in four years time," said, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Chairman Sharad Pawar, after the organisers' first meeting in Bhurban, a northern hill resort near Islamabad. "We will make unrelenting efforts to make the event a spectacular one so that more and more people come and watch the best cricket," Pawar was quoted as saying in 'The News'. "We assure that prices of the tickets will be affordable to the local paying capacity," he added.
The committee also held discussions on the option of common visas for citizens of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, based on the pattern the Caribbean nations adopted in the just concluded World Cup. "The possibility of a common visa will also be explored through talks with the governments," said Pawar.
Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Nasim Ashraf said the committee will seek grants from the ICC for developing cricket grounds in all the four countries. Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad would host the World Cup matches in Pakistan.
Pakistan's eastern cultural hub at Lahore was chosen, as the headquarters of the World Cup 2011. The four countries from the subcontinent beat the joint bid from Australia and New Zealand to stage the 2011 World Cup. Australia and New Zealand will now host the 2015 edition.
Besides Pawar and Ashraf, the meeting was attended by Bangladesh Cricket Board CEO Mehmood-ur-Rahman and Sri Lankan Cricket Board Chief Executive Dilip Mendies. The next organising committee meeting will be held in India later this year.

2011 Cricket World Cup matches switch to India
The majority of 2011 World Cup matches scheduled to be held in Pakistan will be switched to India, the tournament's organising committee has decided.
The 2011 World Cup was set to be co-hosted by Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka with Pakistan to host 14 matches. But the International Cricket Council, at its executive board meeting in Dubai earlier this month, decided to strip Pakistan of its hosting rights because of safety concerns arising from an "uncertain political situation" in the country.
At a World Cup organising committee meeting in Mumbai on Tuesday, India was given 29 matches including the final and one semi-final, while Sri Lanka is set to host 12 matches including a semi-final and Bangladesh eight matches and the opening ceremony. ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat, who attended the meeting, said he was confident adequate security measure would be put in place in the subcontinent to ensure the event goes ahead as planned.
"We have formed in the central organising committee a security team to be directed by BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) president Shashank Manohar," he said. "We recognise that it's important we instil confidence in the security measures we have in place. "We have no doubt that we will be able to put together security plans that would successfully help host the World Cup in 2011."
