Never understand why they name 30 man squads for these.
Windies and Ireland we should make it safely through. Then again back in 07 we lost to the Zimbots and scrapped in.

Once again the women's tournament will be played at the same time.

bold move, but good on them.

Kevin Pietersen 'left out' of England's World Twenty20 squad

Kevin Pietersen is understood to have been left out of England's 30-man squad for the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.
The batsman, 32, quit limited-overs internationals in May after an impasse with the England & Wales Cricket Board, only to hint at a U-turn last week.
But he is set to be omitted when the squad is announced at 14:00 BST.
Pietersen, who has 1,176 Twenty20 runs at an average of 37.93, was player of the tournament when England lifted the trophy in 2010.
Squads for the World Twenty20 must be cut to 15 players by 18 August, one month before the tournament starts.
Exasperated by the demands of international cricket's schedule, Pietersen retired from the one-day and Twenty20 formats after the ECB insisted all centrally contracted players must make themselves available for both teams.
However, reports at the weekend suggested he was willing to reconsider if he was permitted to play all six weeks of future Indian Premier League tournaments, rather than the three currently allowed by the ECB.
That would mean potentially missing England Test matches in the early part of the English summer.
England Test captain Andrew Strauss insisted he had not been involved in talks between Pietersen and the board and that the England players were focussed solely on the three-Test series against South Africa, which starts on Thursday.
"I think it's very important that it isn't a distraction to us and the best way to do that is to concentrate on this game coming up," Strauss told BBC Sport.
"Whatever happens in the future is in the future. It is not for us to worry about right at the moment.
"There might come a time when I need to sit down with him but at the moment we are just not focussed on that."

i like the side, dont think we will win it, only pattinson being left was the suprise. the majority of the squad have been outstanding in the last 12 months in T20 including IPL

 

[Hallatia]

I think they extended the deadline for the naming of the final squads, but I forget when til. Apparently a few teams wanted the extension
