Haroon Lorgat also said that the number of matches to be played at the fifteen different selected venues had
been discussed. It is obvious that the event should be used to bolster local tourism efforts and every endeavor
must be made to ensure that it is a massive success. If you would like to combine sport with leisure, you’ll be happy to know that the World Cup will be making its way to either Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka, Narayanganj Osmani Stadium in Fatullah or the Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. The final decision as to which stadium will be used for the event is yet to be made.
No doubt, this means that Bandladesh will experience a lot of tourist-related development as city officials try to ensure that it is completely ready to receive this prestigious event and the many tourists that travel with it. Though it is still some time before the 2011 Cricket World Cup takes place, fans would definitely do well to book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Visitors from other countries would also do well to take advantage of their trip and explore the country between matches so that they can learn a little bit more about the rich beauty that is to be found in Bangladesh.

ground,” he said.
Shahzad has spent long periods of the tour on the sidelines after he was unused during the Ashes success.
Sunday’s match was his fourth in a row since the tour entered the limited-overs phase – a run he admits has fuelled his confidence.
But with limited international experience the Yorkshireman admits he needs more games before he will be producing what he feels he is capable of.
“It’s a confident feeling to get a few under the belt back-to-back rather than just getting called in now and again,’’ he said. ‘‘I want to get a run and make the most of it. I’m starting to feel as though I’m getting into a better rhythm now in regards to everything. It’s been frustrating and difficult just to bowl at batsmen in the nets. There’s only so much you can do.”
Australia’s Mike Hussey is in doubt for the rest of the one-day international series after sustaining a “significant” hamstring injury, Cricket Australia said yesterday.
Hussey, 35, injured his left hamstring while taking a second run in Melbourne on Sunday.
Australia's physiotherapist, Alex Kountouris, said: “The course of management for this injury will be determined in the next 24 hours.”
Meanwhile England’s women made it four wins out of four in the five-match Twenty20 series against Australia after a 13-run victory in Canberra yesterday.
The tourists were all out for 144 with one ball of their innings left, Laura Marsh picking up her second consecutive match award after hitting five fours in making 43 from 28 balls. Laura Greenway added 28.
Disciplined bowling from all five of England’s attack and spinner Holly Colvin’s two for 25 kept the Australians out of reach of the run-rate and restricted them to 131 for six.
The final match of the series, also in Canberra, takes place on Tuesday (start 4am UK). The sides then play a one-off Ashes Test in Sydney from Saturday.
ICC World Cup 2011: Australia name Michael Hussey
ICC World Cup 2011: Australia name Michael Hussey in final squad
Mr. Cricket Michael Hussey has been picked in the final 15-member Australian World Cup squad even after suffering a hamstring injury in the first One Day International against England on Sunday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
According to the physiotherapist of the Australian team, Alex Kountouris, the player has suffered a hamstring injury. Talking about Hussey, he said, “Scans have confirmed that Mike Hussey sustained a significant left hamstring injury during the first ODI against England at the MCG. The course of management for this injury will be determined in the next 24 hours.”
Cricket Australia would be hoping for an early recovery of the lower middle order batsman. Before the announcement of the World Cup squad, there were rumours that Hussey may not be named in the World Cup squad due to his injury. However, Australia’s cricket governing body has decided to stick with the experience of Hussey and hopes that he manages to return to full fitness by the time the World Cup begins on 19 February, 2011.
Hussey, who has not been in the greatest of forms, was seen struggling to find good touch with the bat during the later half of the 2010-11 Ashes series. He still seemed out of touch as he scored just 21 runs in the first ODI at the MCG on Sunday.
Cricket Australia also decided to retain Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke in the squad. Ponting is currently nursing a broken finger, an injury that he sustained in the third Ashes match at the Western Australian Cricket Association Ground, Perth. Clarke, on the other hand, is also struggling with his form and has not been able to score big runs throughout the 2010-11 season.
The players to miss 2011 World Cup include the experienced batsman Brad Hodge and young spinner Xavier Doherty. Doherty was fancied by many to make it to the World Cup and his exclusion might be a shock for the likes of former veteran spinner Shane Warne, who had supported the prospects of Doherty in the Australian cricket outfit.
The chairman National Selection Panel, Andrew Hilditch supported the selection of the team and hoped that the national squad would retain its World Cup title. “The NSP has selected a squad we believe is capable of winning a fourth successive ICC Cricket World Cup in sub-continental conditions. As the world's number one ranked one-day team and as the holders of both the ICC Cricket World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy, Australia has been planning for this tournament for some time and we feel this side is well balanced,” he reiterated.
The NSP chairman further justifying the selection said, “One of the major decisions to be made in this squad was ensuring the balance was right in the squad to provide the best cover for all positions in the event of injury, illness or form issues that may arise.”
Australia’s 15-member squad for the World Cup: Ricky Ponting (captain), Michael Clarke (vice captain), Doug Bollinger, Brad Haddin (wicketkeeper), John Hastings, Nathan Hauritz, David Hussey, Mike Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Tim Paine (wicketkeeper), Steve Smith, Shaun Tait, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
