An ICC inspection team has raised serious concerns over the preparedness of two key World Cup venues - Eden Gardens in Kolkata and the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai - in time for the tournament, which begins on February 19, 2011.

Its interim report says the original November 30 deadline for completion of construction, which neither stadium
has met, is likely to be over-run by at least a month and warns that, if construction at these venues is not completed by January 15, "it is not possible to confirm that the venues will be in a suitable condition to be handed over by January 31".
