Cricket's global governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is slated to announce the schedule of next year's mega-event, the T20 Cricket World Cup on Tuesday, 25th of November. Reigning Champions India & Sri Lanka will be acting as the co-hosts of the tournament for this edition.

Suryakumar Yadav is handling the leadership duties of Team India in the shortest format of the game and will also be seen donning the captain's hat in the forthcoming Twenty-Twenty World Cup on home soil.

The BCCI, India's Cricket Governing Body, has shortlisted Chennai, New Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Kolkata as the venues where the matches of the tournament will be played. According to numerous media report, the cities of Kandy & Colombo will be hosting the T20 World Cup matches - schedueled to be played in Sri Lanka.

The most important fixture of the competition, the title-deciding encounter will be played in India if Pakistan doesn't make their way in the final and if they do, then the contest will take place in the city of Colombo.
