The submissions, which had to be received by 28 February, include five members seeking to host ICC Champions Trophies and seven members targeting a potential Twenty20 event.
A representative from Australia and New Zealand’s joint bid for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 hand-delivered their submission document to the ICC office in Dubai on Monday, February 27.
Australia and New Zealand’s bid covers both the 2011 and 2015 events while England have submitted to host the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.
However, the combined India-Pakistan-Sri Lanka-Bangladesh bid for 2011 did not meet the February 28 deadline and Asian officials are appealing for more time from the ICC to compile their bid.
Submissions for the ICC Champions Trophies have been sent by Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates and West Indies.
England, Malaysia, Scotland, South Africa, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates and West Indies have all followed up their expressions of interest by submitting to host a potential Twenty20 World Championship.
Interest in the Women’s World Cup is also high with India, Malaysia and United Arab Emirates all bidding for the event.
Submissions are being reviewed ahead of the ICC Board meeting on March 20 and 21.
The Board will also consider the recommendations made in February by the ICC Chief Executives’ Committee regarding an annual events schedule that would include a Twenty20 World Championship and a shorter-format ICC Champions Trophy.
