ICC officials inspect Mumbai venue for World Cup

The International Cricket Council has started an inspection of two Indian venues for the World Cup after concerns over delayed renovation work.

Officials visited the Wankhede Stadium on Monday to check on its status and will make a similar inspection of the Eden Gardens in Calcutta on Tuesday.

Both venues missed the original deadline for construction of Nov. 30, and the ICC ordered faster progress so the stadiums could be ready for handover to the ICC on Jan. 31.

The World Cup, being jointly hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, starts on Feb. 19.

Mumbai will host two matches on March 13 and 17 and the final on April 2. Calcutta will host four matches, the first on Feb. 27 between India and England.
