Board of Control for Cricket in India
(BCCI), on Tuesday, made public the
venues that will host the Men and
Women T20 WC-2016. The T20 WC will
be hosted by India from the 11th of
March to the 3rd of April 2016.
"Bengaluru, Chennai, Dharamshala,
Mohali, Mumbai, Nagpur and New Delhi
will be the venues along with Kolkata,
which will also host the final of the
event," a BCCI media release
said.These venues will host the
matches subject to fulfilling the
prescribed requirements of ICC and
BCCI while adhering to the statutory
obligations that are mandatory for
hosting an International match.
The allotment of matches to Chennai
comes as a pleasant surprise after the
Supreme Court of India observed that
the newly constructed stands (I,J and
K) violated the safety norms and ruled
that the unauthorized parts have to be
demolished. Meanwhile, the Sardar
Patel Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad
was not granted any T20 WC matches
due to ongoing renovation work at the
venue.
While Eden Gardens, has played host
to two Indian Premier League finals in
2013 and 2015, the ground has hosted
only one T20I so far - the India vs
England game in October 2011, which
the visiting team won by six wickets.
Speaking on the announcement of the
venues, Honorary Secretary of the
BCCI, Mr. Anurag Thakur said, "BCCI is
extremely proud to host this
prestigious event. All the venues
identified have hosted many
prestigious matches. With this
announcement, we have begun our
preparations in right earnest. We want
this T20 WC to be a memorable
experience for our participants and
fans. I am confident that all the
venues nominated will deliver a world
class event."
BCCI also constituted a Managing
Committee for the T20 WC comprising
of the following members:
President of BCCI, Mr. Jagmohan
Dalmiya would be the chairman of this
committee along with the following
members;
Mr. Anurag Thakur, convenor and Hon.
Secretary, BCCI.
Mr. Amitabh Choudhary, Hon. Joint
Secretary, BCCI.
Mr. Anirudh Chaudhry, Hon. Treasurer,

Mr. G. Ganga Raju, Vice President, BCCI.
Mr. Rajeev Shukla, Chairman, IPL.
Mr. Ashish Shelar, Vice President,
