India will host Semifinal, Final and 29 Matches of ICC World Cup 2011

India has managed to get the lion's share of 2011 world cup matches with 29 games coming their way and will host one semi-final and final while Mumbai gets relocated as the Central Secretariat of the ICC World Cup 2011. The secretariat was earlier based in the Pakistani city of Lahore.
After the ICC ruled out Pakistan as a co-host, the schedule had to be re-drawn and accordingly, India will now host 29 matches in eight venues, including one semifinal and the final of the event. Sri Lanka will host 12 matches in three venues, including a semifinal, while eight matches, and the opening ceremony, would take place in Bangladesh, ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat said. Meanwhile, BCCI chief administrative officer Ratnakar Shetty was appointed the Managing Director of the 2011 World Cup.
