The International Cricket Council's executive committee voted for the hosts of the tournament after examining bids from the nations which expressed an interest in holding a Twenty20 World Championship. After South Africa in 2007, England hosted the tournament in 2009 and will be followed by the West Indies in 2010 and Sri Lanka in 2012. The ICC decided that South Africa and England should host the first two tournaments as they were the earliest adopters of the format.
