NEW DELHI: The ICC on Tuesday confirmed the schedule for the ICC Cricket World Cup qualifier 2009 to take place from 1 to 19 April in South Africa.
With three ODI venues being used, including Willowmoore Park in Benoni and Otchefstroom for group and Super Eight matches and Centurion for the final on 19 April, the event will enjoy first-class facilities.
In total there are nine venues being used for 54 matches played over 19 days, with 12 teams fighting it out for the four qualification places on offer in the ICC World Cup 2011. The ICC World Cup Qualifier, formerly known as the ICC Trophy, incorporates Divisions 1 and 2 of the Pepsi ICC World Cricket League and is the gateway for the top Associate and Affiliate teams into the premier One-day tournament in the world.
"It looks like it’s going to be a great event," said ICC President David Morgan.
"Many of the top Associates are very evenly matched and I am expecting some thrilling matches during the tournament. We know from experience that South Africa is a perfect place to host big multi-team tournaments such as this and I know the teams will have some of the best facilities at their disposal," he said.
