World twenty20 held on April-May 2010 West Indies

Third season of twenty20 ICC cricket championship will be held on West Indies in 2010 just after less than one year of time period that was scheduled to be held after every two years. Now, question is why it is going to hold in a break schedule? Well, the main reason was acting behind the decision is; the limited over ICC Champions Trophy, a eight nation tournament that was schedule similar after two years and the host country was selected as Pakistan in 2009 on September. But, due to terrorist attack on Sri Lankan cricket team and security concern it has been shifted to South Africa and West Indies has been selected as a twenty20 venue in stead of the biennial Champions Trophy in 2010.

"With the Champions Trophy set to be hosted by Pakistan in 2009 after cancellation this year, we decided to have a Twenty20 World Championship instead in April-May 2010 in West Indies," Lorgat told reporters here.

"Although World Twenty20 is to be held every second year, we decided to hold it on the trot to set the calendar right," he added.

"We are working with the West Indies Cricket Board to finalise the venues."

The second season of Twenty20 cricket world championships already been finished that was held in England and the ICC Champions Trophy (50 overs) formatted is going to start from next month. The two international cricket tournaments are in the same year and one year gap is not good for cricket fans. To keep the cricket audiences fresh the authority has planned to host twenty20 cricket champ on 2010 again April-May 2010. Fifty over formatted world cup cricket 2007 was held in West Indies when Australian achieved and three consecutive wins.
