| MUMBAI:
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that a meeting to discuss
the ongoing issues surrounding the hosting of matches in the ICC Cricket World
Cup 2011 will take place in London on 15 June.
The
meeting between ICC officials and representatives of the four countries that were
awarded the event - India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh - was originally
due to take place in Dubai today, but was re-scheduled to ensure availability
of all those taking part. Last
month, the ICC had rejected the legal claims initiated by the Pakistan Cricket
Board (PCB) concerning the hosting of matches in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. As
well as representatives from the four countries, ICC president David Morgan and
ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat will also be in attendance while ICC Vice-President Sharad
Pawar will take part via telephone hook-up. Morgan
said, “I am grateful to everyone for agreeing to come together to work through
the ongoing issues surrounding the hosting of matches in the ICC Cricket World
Cup 2011." The
meeting comes in the wake of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s decision to pursue
legal action against the ICC. The ICC Board also decided that matches originally
due to be played in Pakistan during the tournament would be played outside the
country because of the ongoing security concerns. Also
