Cricket's T20 Giants And Minnows Ready To Battle In USA And Caribbean
Cricket's ability to grow its global presence beyond its heartlands, while still maintaining the quality at the highest level, will be tested over the coming month in the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the United States. The ninth edition of the tournament, in the fastest and most explosive form of the game, will be the biggest ever after the decision of the International Cricket Council (ICC) to expand the field from 16 nations to 20. It will also be the first ever major ICC event to be held, in part, in the United States, a country where attempts to grow the sport have consistently failed.
