After days of uncertainty over the Eden Gardens cricket ground in Kolkata, the ICC has given a go-ahead for hosting the other three non-India matches. After its three-member inspection on Monday, the ICC said it was happy with the progress at the stadium.
This comes after the ICC had ruled that renovation work was too slow and the venue was unlikely to be ready for its only match featuring India and England last month.
The stadium is now due to host three matches -- South Africa vs Ireland on March 15, Ireland vs Netherlands on March 18 and Zimbabwe vs Kenya on March 20.
The World Cup, which is being co-hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, begins with a match between India and Bangladesh in Dhaka on February 19.
