THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: It’s just been a week since the one-and-ahalf month-long ODI World Cup ended with India suffering a painful defeat against Australia in the final. But the audition for the next World Cup, though in a different format, has already begun.
In seven months’ time, the T20 World Cup will be held in the US and the West Indies.
