ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat said: “These are exciting times for the ICC as now just 365 days remain until the start of our flagship event, the ICC Cricket World Cup.
“Given the passion the subcontinent has for our great sport and the tremendous commitment shown so far by the boards and people of the region, everyone is even more thrilled and convinced that it will be another successful World Cup like the previous ones held in the region, in 1987 and 1996.
“In the past 12 months, I believe we have made excellent progress with our preparations. Last year in Mumbai, we unveiled the event logo and announced the match schedule while at the beginning of this year in Dhaka we launched the Bangladesh element of the World Cup. In April in Colombo, we will launch the ticket sales."
