The participating teams are host Sri Lanka, defending champion England, former champions India and Pakistan, South Africa, Australia, West Indies, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan. Ten Test playing teams are automatically qualified while Ireland and Afghanistan played qualifier to enter the final round.India is placed in Group A along with England and Afghanistan .It is hard to estimate the title favorites in T20 matches. T20 World cup is held for every two years. The first world cup was held in 2007 in South Africa. India won the first T20 world cup where India defeated Pakistan in the final match. 
ICC T20 World Cup Trophy


In 2009 England hosted the second edition of T20 world cup and Pakistan was the title winner and Pakistan beat another south Asian Sri Lanka in final. Third edition was held in 2012 in west Indies and England became the champion beating Australia. India team which won the inaugural T20 world cup could not even reach even semi-finals in the next two world cup matches. There are many favorable and unfavorable factors for Indian team to win the T20 world cup that will be played in Sri Lanka. Team India which was losing all the matches that were played abroad since the world cup win, is slowly coming back into its form. In the recent one day series that was played in Sri Lanka recently, India has won the one day series and also won in the only one T20 match.

Atmosphere of Sri Lanka is similar to India and this is the most favorable thing for India. Captains of many participating teams have changed but Mahindra Singh Dhoni is leading the Indian team for the fourth time in ICC T20 World Cup matches. Most of the players in Indian team have the experience of playing in the ICC T20 world cup. One of the main problems for Indian team is its lack of steadiness .Seeded second in Group A, which clubs them along side defending champions England and qualifiers Afghanistan, India were on a high after clinching the 50-over World Cup last year. But their fortunes took a turn for the worst soon after with Test whitewashes in England and Australia but India will come as better side here in Sri Lanka.

According to cricinfo correspondent The Champions League Twenty20 is set to have a team from Pakistan for the first time. The BCCI has said it will recommend to the tournament's governing council, which is scheduled to meet on May 28, that it had no objection to a team from Pakistan participating.
The decision was taken at the BCCI's working committee meeting in Chennai today, where it was also decided to distribute approx $13m to ex-Indian players, set up a BCCI anti-corruption unit, and set up matches between IPL teams and Associate/Affiliate countries.

Srinivasan said the matter of Pakistan's participation in the CLT20 had already come up in the tournament's governing council. "The Working Committee has decided to invite a team from Pakistan to play in Champions League Twenty20 to be held in October," Srinivasan said after the working committee meeting. "CLT20 is owned by BCCI, Cricket Australia, and Cricket South Africa. So we will recommend to the Governing Council that the BCCI has no objection and is prepared to invite a Pakistanteam in the Champions League.
Sailkot Stallions

"CLT20 will be played in India. As far as inviting a Pakistani team is concerned, it will be done by the Governing Council. The BCCI will make the recommendation to the Governing Council which will decide on the matter. This matter came up in the Governing Council of the Champions League. There was discussion around the composition of the tournament this year and on the number of teams and who will be invited. A feeling was expressed that a team from Pakistan could be invited."
The PCB had been pushing for the inclusion of sides from Pakistan, the only major Test-playing nation to not have had teams in either the qualifiers or the main round of the tournament since
The Champions League is played between domestic T20 winners from various countries. Sialkot Stallions are the current Pakistandomestic T20 champions. The Sialkot Regional Cricket Association had requested the PCB last month to make efforts to enable the participation of Sialkot in the Champions League. The PCB, in turn, had said that Sialkot's participation was dependent on the restoration of bilateral ties between India and Pakistan.
Pakistan players are currently excluded from the Indian Premier League as well. Shukla, also the IPL chairman, had said last month that their participation was also dependent on the resumption of India-Pakistan cricket ties.

Pakistan cricket Mohammed Asif was released from a British jail Thursday after completing half of his 12-month sentence after being found guilty in a spot-fixing scandal. The 29-year-old Asif, a former World No.2 Test bowler, was released from Canterbury Prison in Kent on Thursday morning, his London-based law firm SJS Solicitors said.

In November, along with team mates Salman Butt and Mohammad Aamer, Asif was jailed after the Southwark Crown Court in London found the trio guilty of conspiring to cheat and accept corrupt payments over bowling deliberate no-balls bowled during the Lord's Test against England in August 2010.

Aamer was released in February after three months in jail and is currently back home in Pakistan. Butt and their agent Mazhar Majeed is still serving a two-and-a-half year sentence for their role. The court had identified the 27-year-old Butt as the "chief orchestrator" of the plot.

Asif is still under suspension from the International Cricket Council (ICC) and his lawyer indicated Wednesday that he will try to clear his name. Earlier, Asif had twice tested positive for the performance-enhancing drug nandrolone and was also detained in Dubai for 19 days in 2008 after opium was found in his wallet.He was also connected with controversial Pakistani actress Veena Malik who is now struggling in Bollywood.

The fixing scandal was exposed when an undercover reporter of the now defunct News of the World approached Majeed. 

The Pakistan Cricket Board has invited proposals from a number of companies to set up a Twenty20 league in the country. As many as eight companies, including Ten Sports, Nimbus and Geo TV, have already made their proposals to the PCB, while another three are expected to do so this week.
 "The purpose of the sessions was to hear the ideas and concepts and each one came with in-depth studies," The Daily Times quoted a PCB spokesman, as saying.
The PCB has made it clear that they don't intend to organize a tournament similar to the Indian Premier League (IPL) or the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

 "We have no fixed ideas, and are being open minded, but one thing we know is that we do not want a clone of the IPL or BPL. Our product won't resemble the conventional type of league and even the name won't be the PakistanPremier League (PPL)," the spokesman added.
The PCB would weigh all the proposals once the presentation process ends next week.

The board is believed to want to hold the tournament in October, but security concerns could force them to adjust their dates. No international cricket has been played in Pakistansince the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in 2009.
The leeway of international players participating in the contest would depend largely on the level of security provided for the tournament.
On same note Former captain Shoaib Malik has said if the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) succeeds in launching its own Twenty20 Premier League, the benefits will be manifold, including revival of international cricket in the country. "The other benefits would include financial benefits for the domestic players and the chance for youngsters to play alongside international players and learn from their experience," Malik said.

Banned Pakistan pacer Mohammad Asif will be released from prison on May 5 after completing his jail term in the United Kingdom. Asif will decide when he plans to return to Pakistan after being released from prison, said his lawyer Ravi Gill. “Asif will complete his jail term on May 5 and all formalities have been completed for his release,” he said.
Asif and his Pakistan teammates Mohammad Aamir and Salman Butt were given different jail terms by a crown court in London last year in October for being involved in spot—fixing during Pakistan’s tour to England in 2010.

The trio are also serving a five year ban by the anti—corruption tribunal of the International Cricket Council imposed in February 2011 for the same offence.
Aamir, the youngest of the three, returned home in March after completing a six months jail term in a youth detention centre in the UK, and he has also decided against appealing against the five year ban imposed on him by the ICC.
“We have heard Asif is being released this week. Whenever he returns to Pakistan, the terms and conditions of the ICC ban will remain and he will not be allowed to take part in any cricket related activity in Pakistan,” a official of the board said. Asif, 29, who took 106 wickets in 23 tests and another 36 wickets in 48 one—day internationals, was jailed for 12 months by the crown court while Butt was given a 30—month sentence.All three had appealed against their sentences but had their appeals rejected by the Lord Chief Justice.
Aamir since returning home has been kept away from all cricket activities and the board has not even allowed him to use the facilities at the National cricket academy in Lahore.
A family member of Asif said they wanted him to return home as soon as he was released as they were desperate to meet him

The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board were informed on Sunday that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have agreed the Bangladesh tour of Pakistanwill take place and will involve one One-Day International and one Twenty20 International to be held in Lahore. The ICC Board, having due regard to its duty of care to match officials and other ICC staff, requested that the PCB to immediately provide a comprehensive security plan for consideration.

Thereafter, the ICC’s Anti Corruption and Security Unit will commission a localised risk assessment to determine whether its officials and staff are appropriately protected by the proposed security plan, before any further decision is taken in relation to their appointment.
 The ODI is scheduled for 29 April 2012 and the Twenty20 will be played one day later at the same venue.
 BCB President Mustafa Kamal said: “The public of Pakistan have been deprived of cricket and we felt that we needed to support them. The reception we received when we toured Lahore and Karachi on our security visit was overwhelming.”
 Zaka Ashraf, the PCB chairman, said: “I want to thank the BCB and the Bangladesh Government for their support for this tour.”
 ICC said it will advise of other agenda items considered by the ICC Board at the conclusion of the meeting tomorrow (Monday) when ICC will hold a press conference

Former Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Asif who had been sentenced in prison after found guilty in match fixing, will be released from prison in the first week of May, his lawyer has said.
Asif's lawyer Ravi Sukul said they were waiting for release orders, adding that final date of his release has not yet received, The News reports.

He also said they would approach the court if Asif was deported from England.
He added that Asif had already pleaded not guilty in the British and International Arbitrary Court.
The ICC had banned Asif from participating in all forms of cricket for seven years over his alleged involvement in the spot-fixing scam during the 2010 Lord's Test against England.

Asif was also handed a one- year prison sentence by London's Southwark Crown Court over the scandal.

He is currently lodged at Her Majesty's Canterburyprison, a category C jail, which specialises in housing foreign criminals convicted in Britain
