International Cricket Committee president Ehsan Mani paid tribute to the Caribbean region at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Montego Bay, Jamaica last Tuesday evening.
Barbados will host the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup West Indies 2007, while Jamaica holds the Opening Ceremony and Opening Match.
The ceremony, which outlined the allocation of matches for each of the eight venues, was attended by a host of officials including chairman of the local World Cup committee Michael Findlay and president of the local and Windwards Cricket Boards Lennox John.
Barbados received the ‘Black’ package which allows it to host the Final, three of the largest Super Eight matches, and three other Super Eight matches.
Jamaica secured the ‘Yellow’ package, giving them the Opening Ceremony and Opening Game, one semi-final, and six first round matches. Additionally, the West Indies team will be based there.
