The ICC has released the schedule for the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup to be held in September of this year. The format will be similar to just concluded World Cup, just that the tournament will be concluded within 2 weeks, unlike the 7 weeks for which CWC 2007 dragged on. There will be 12 teams this time with only 2 minnows: Kenya and Scotland. The round robin first stage has the 12 teams divided into four groups of three with the top 2 in each group moving on to the Super 8s. The top four in the Super 8s will qualify for the semifinals. After playing in the opening matches in the 2003 and 2007 World Cups, the Windies will again feature in the initial game. Here is the Windies' first round schedule:
Tuesday, September 11th 2007
South Africa v West Indies (12noon Eastern Caribbean 11am Jamaica) Johannesburg
Thursday, September 13th 2007
West Indies v Bangladesh (4am Eastern Caribbean 3am Jamaica) Johannesburg

India have a strong squad even without Tendulkar and Dravid, but they have difficulty winning overseas. It will be very interesting to see how they do in the Super 8s and beyond.

I think tendulkar and ganguly is always better than gambhir and other new comers in any day. so,it could be a very good chance to india to win twenty20 world cup in this year if they would be in a squad though we don't give up our hope on our new brigades. wish all the best for INDIA for the new journey

I wish they would bring the world cup to Canada some day. We have an enormous amount of ethnic groups here to support every possible country playing in the world cup.
