The World Cup will take place between February and April 2011, with the first match to be played on 19 February 2011 with co-hosts India and Bangladeshfacing off at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
The World Cup was also to be co-hosted by Pakistan, but in the wake of the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team inLahore, the capital of the Pakistani province of Punjab, the International Cricket Council (ICC) were forced to strip Pakistan of its hosting rights The headquarters of the organising committee were originally situated in Lahore, but have now been shifted to Mumbai. Pakistan was supposed to hold 14 matches, including one semi-final. Eight of Pakistan's matches have been awarded to India, four to Sri Lanka and two to Bangladesh.
Although all the Indian stadiums for the 2011 World Cup had been finalised before but the venues of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka were finalised afterwards in late October 2009. All the venues of the 2011 Cricket World Cup were announced on 2 November, 2009 in Mumbai by the International Cricket Council. 2 new stadiums in Sri Lanka are being constructed exclusively for the 2011 World Cup. They are located in Kandy and Hambantota.
Stumpy is the official mascot for the 2011 Cricket World Cup. He was unveiled at a function in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Friday, 2 April 2010.

The official name of the mascot was released on Monday, 2 August, 2010 after an online competition conducted by the International Cricket Council in the last week of July, 2010.
