Twenty20 Cricket has never failed
to enthrall and captivate the minds of cricketing viewers and spectators round
the globe. Since its early days, T20 Cricket came under constant criticism.
But with the unprecedented success of the inaugural edition of the
International Twenty20 World Cup, all questions over the longevity of the
shortest format of Cricket was put to rest once and for all. To globalize T20
Cricket throughout the globe, the International Cricket Council decided to
host T20 World Cups every 2 years. The year 2012 will see the next edition of
the World T20, to be played in the Asian country of Sri Lanka. The Twenty20
World Cup 2012 is the 4th edition of the T20 World Cup. This international T20
cricketing event will be hosted by the island country of Sri Lanka. In fact,
this is the first time that this grand tournament will be hosted by an Asian
country. The official dates have been announced by the ICC, the championship
will start from September 18, 2012 and continue up to the first week of the
November. Just like all other cricket tournaments and series, the ICC World
T20 Championship is a part of the innovative Future Tour Programs (FTP).
The ICC has released the official cricket fixture of the World T20 to the
public and the media, as assured by the officials at ICC last year. This time,
the number of qualifying teams has been raised from 12 to 16. This implies,
the minnows and the associate countries stand a chance to compete against the
big teams and gain experience. For that, a qualifying round will be held in
the first quarter of 2012. The first game of the ICC T20 World Championship
2012 will be underway from Tuesday, September 18, 2012. The matches will be
held in Galle, Kandy and Colombo. The finals, though, will be held at the
legendary R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. It is one of the magnificent
cricketing venues of the modern age. In the distant past, it has been witness
to great cricketing spectacles, including quarter finals and semi finals of
Cricket World Cup 2011 and 1996. Also, it would be interesting to see whether
an Asian country will host the cup, or will it be a new name to lift up the
coveted T20 World Championship crown. Its just a matter of time, before the
winner is exposed to the cricketing fraternity.
