Which country plays where, when and what matches is the topic of following, formally called as cricket schedule, for year 2011..The 10th ODI World cup in February & March is the only multi country tournament this year with no World T20 or champions trophy or asia cup but we do have some very high profile head to heads like India tour of England in July (and return series in October) as well as India's tour of Australia in December and Australia's tour of South Africa (the new arch rivals). Pakistan played 3 tests in New Zealand last year but that was their own series hosted abroad and this time Pak actually tours New Zealand.Sri Lanka, traditionally bad tourists, have tough times ahead with series in England and South Africa while Australia play in Bangladesh only for the second time. West Indies play a test series in India for the first time since 2002.Note that date wise fixtures of each tour or tournament will be added as they are announced by respective boards. Also, few more cricket series may be added just a month in advance which will be updated in following table later on.
