The BCCI will form a committee for the ICC One-Day International World Cup and the Women’s Premier League within the next week or so. “In terms of the ICC Cricket World Cup venues, each office-bearer will be responsible for each venue.” “We’re looking at all of the major cities as potential venues for the tournament,” Shah said.
“The World Cup committee will consist of all the office-bearers and one or two other members,” said another top official. A company called Grant Thornton will work with the BCCI on the upgradation of 15 stadiums earmarked for the ODI World Cup. “We want to enhance the fan experience,” a top BCCI official said.
