Don Lockerbie, the ICC's venue development director, said the nine host countries had prepared well for what organizers believe will be the biggest sporting event ever staged in the region. "All the venues are on stream and we are doing mighty fine. We are where we believe we should be at this time," Lockerbie said on Tuesday.

Lockerbie visited Kensington Oval, the venue for the April 28 final. He said the only venue that concerned him was the Brian Lara Stadium being constructed in Trinidad.
