Mumbai, Sep 2 (PTI) The opening ceremony of the 2011
Cricket World Cup will be held on February 17 in Bangladesh
and the first match would take place on February 19 in the
same country, the ICC announced Wednesday.
The ICC had earlier said both the opening ceremony and
the opening game would be held on February 19 in Bangladesh.
But the full match schedule with venues would be

Organising Committee (COC) of the mega event that met here
Wednesday to continue preparations for the tournament.
The venues where the matches would be held in the three
host nations – India, Bangladesh and Sri Laka - would be
inspected in October/November, the COC decided.
Tournament director Ratnakar Shetty said the meeting was
a productive one and the organisers were operating at a brisk
pace to make it a great success.
"This was another productive meeting and we have
continued to make real progress. We are operating at full
steam ahead for what should be a great event in 2011 and there
is a great spirit of cooperation among the hosts and the ICC,"
he said.
The COC also approved the operational plan and event
budget.
All these matters would have to be vetted by the Finance
Committee and the Board of the ICC.
The meeting, held under the chairmanship of ICC
Vice-President Sharad Pawar, was attended by ICC Chief
Executive Haroon Lorgat and representatives of the three host
countries.
Pakistan, previously the tournament's fourth host nation,
was not present and will not attend any future meetings of the
COC following the settlement made with the ICC last week
whereby it was agreed the Pakistan Cricket Board would be
relieved of its obligations as a co-hosts, the ICC said.
The meeting was a routine gathering to discuss details
relating to the staging of the event, it said, adding the next
meeting would be held in Mumbai on November 9.
