t20 Cricket world cup 2016 | 9 years ago | Reply Nice logo and we are waiting to watch this t20 cricket world cup 2016.

Mike | 9 years ago | Reply Boycott T20 worldcup in India. India is not a safe place for any type public event. ICC is risking the life players for money. India is the world most dangerous place for any type of public gathering. ICC should consider "Players Safety ".
