The qualifying tournament would be held from October 7 while the main event would kickstart on October 15. The final has been slated for November 1.

Mani said all outstanding issues had been resolved with the Board of Control for Cricket in India but for two matters relating to tickets for ICC's sponsors and the fourth venue for the one-day tournament.

"We hope these two matters will also get resolved in two week's time," he told reporters.
