The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed today that South Africa would host this year\'s Champions Trophy, a competition that was moved from Pakistan because of security concerns and then pulled from Sri Lanka after worries of rain.
ICC president David Morgan called it a sensible decision after months of uncertainty over the venue for the September 24 to October 5 tournament.
The board also identified the Wanderers in Johannesburg and Centurion near Pretoria as the likely venues.
The ICC board also agreed to hold next year\'s World 20/20 from April 30 to May 16, in St. Lucia, Guyana, Barbados and St. Kitts.
