AFP, Dallas :
Cricket ventures into uncharted territory on Sunday as the first ever major tournament to be staged in the United States gets under way in Texas with the opening game of the T20 World Cup (WC).

A month-long festival of the fastest and most explosive form of the sport-which is being shared between venues in Texas, Florida, New York and the Caribbean-begins with the US taking on Canada at the Grand Prairie Stadium on the outskirts of Dallas on Saturday.

It marks the opening skirmish of the first ever major International Cricket Council (ICC) event to be held in part in the United States.

While the bulk of the tournament will be played out in the Caribbean, 16 group stage games in the 20-team tournament will be played on American soil, including the highlight of the group stage-a clash between India and Pakistan due to be played in Long Island, New York.
