The tournament director of the 2011 Cricket World Cup, Ratnakar Shetty, says building work is on track and that the Governments of the host countries – India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh – are working together to ensure an "incident-free" competition.
Several venues in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are being redeveloped or constructed from scratch and Shetty is confident they will be ready before the December 31 deadline.
"We are monitoring the development of all the World Cup venues, particularly the redevelopment of stadiums,” he said. “The events are properly chartered and time is of the essence for us.
"The World Cup has been previously held in the subcontinent in 1987 and 1996, and our aim is to deliver a World Cup remembered as a memorable event for spectators to enjoy and the teams that are participating to be at full strength."
Shetty added that the hosts were also working towards improving the security for the event.
"Each of the countries now has full-time security advisers and they are preparing the national security plans as well as the tournament security plans,” he continued. “The three Governments are working to ensure that this will be an incident-free 2011 World Cup."
