Background Of T20
In June 2006, The Daily Telegraph reported that the Mylebone Cricket Club and Surrey CCC had put in a joint bid to host the tournament at Lord's and The Oval.[3]
In December 2007, the ICC provisionally approved a Women's World Twenty20 to run alongside the men's event which, subject to the approval of the ICC's finance and commercial affairs committee, would come into effect for the 2009 tournament in England.[4]
In early January 2008, speculation arose that the tournament could be held elsewhere as the British government have banned Zimbabwe from touring England in 2009. However, it has since been confirmed that the tournament will definitely take place in the country.
In April 2008, the third venue was confirmed as Nottingham's Trent Bridge; the 15,000 seater stadium has been chosen to hold one of the semi-finals, among other earlier matches. Lord's and The Oval are the two other confirmed venues, with the opening match and final being played at Lord's. Old Trafford Cricket Ground had bid for the third venue, but Trent Bridge was chosen for its closer proximity to the two London grounds.
Qualification
Although early reports suggested the 2009 event may involve just 8 teams in a 9-day event,[5] the full 12-team tournament was confirmed, featuring the Test-playing nations and two qualifying associate nations. However, in July 2008 Zimbabwe, under pressure from South Africa and England over political matters related to Robert Mugabe, pulled out of the tournament of their own volition, creating an additional space for an associate nation.
Qualification was achieved by the finalists of the tournament held in Belfast from 2-4 August 2008, between Kenya, Scotland, Ireland, Netherlands, Canada and Bermuda.[6] Ireland and the Netherlands, having reached the final, qualified outright, while Scotland won the third place playoff to also qualify.[7]
