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
