Mumbai will house the 2011 World Cup secretariat and India will host 29 matches of the quadrennial extravaganza, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said here today.
The secretariat was earlier based in the Pakistani city of Lahore.
After the ICC ruled out Pakistan as a co-host, the schedule had to be re-drawn and accordingly, India will now host 29 matches in eight venues, including one semifinal and the final of the event.
Sri Lanka will host 12 matches in three venues, including a semifinal, while eight matches, and the opening ceremony, would take place in Bangladesh, ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat said.
