The 2016 ICC World Twenty20 will be the sixth edition of the ICC World Twenty20 tournament.[1][2] It is scheduled to be held in India from 8 March to 3 April 2016.[3][4][5] The International Cricket Council, after its first meeting in Dubai on 28 January 2015, awarded India the rights to host the World Twenty20 championship in 2016. Sri Lanka are the defending champions. India is hosting the Cricket WT20 for the first time.[6]
Teams
For the second time, the tournament will feature 16 teams. All ten full members will qualify automatically, and will be joined by the six Associate Members that qualified through the 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, played in Ireland and Scotland between 6 to 26 July 2015. The qualifying teams are Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Afghanistan, Hong Kong and Oman. Prior to the qualifying tournament, Oman only had Twenty20 status, but with their progression to their first World Twenty20 tournament, they gained full Twenty20 International status.[7]
The top eight teams in the ICC T20I Championship rankings automatically progress to the Super 10 stage, unless one of the top eight is an associate in which case the next ranked full member will progress in their place. The remaining eight teams compete in the group stage, from which two teams advance to the Super 10 stage.
In October 2015 Shahryar Khan, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), said that Pakistan would consider pulling out of the tournament if the series against India did not go ahead.[8]
