Dubai The International Cricket Council will decide the venues for the 2010 Twenty20 World Cup at its quarterly meeting in Perth on January 31 and February 1 next year.

As per the host agreement, the West Indies Cricket Board has undertaken to recommend its preferred venues to the ICC, which would take its decision based on those recommendations.

"The ICC World Twenty20 2010 in the West Indies promises to be another memorable event and we are looking forward to receiving the WICB's recommendations," said ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat.

"A legacy of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 is the fantastic cricket venues across the Caribbean. On top of that, twenty20 cricket has proved to be a big hit in that part of the world so I'm sure the West Indies will host a spectacular tournament," Lorgat added.
