2011 World Cup will remain in the Indian sub-continent: ICC

July 06 2009 07:57 PM

ICC has made it clear that the 2011 World Cup will not be shifted from the sub continent although Pakistan threatens legal recourse on hosting rights issues which casts a shadow on the 2011 World Cup.

ICC has earlier decided to give the Pakistan’s share of 14 matches to other co-hosts but however the strife-torn country has threatened to take legal action against the move.

When questioned about the ICC’s plan to shift the World Cup out of Asia Morgan said "No, I don't believe that the 2011 ICC World Cup will be shifted away from the Indian sub-continent."

"I think it's important to emphasise that Pakistan has lost none of its hosting rights. All the hosting rights they had, they remain entitled to them. However it has been decided that none of the matches would be staged in Pakistan," he said.

"The ICC Commercial Board has decided that all the matches scheduled originally in Pakistan would be hosted by other co-hosts, that are Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and India," he said.

Answering to a question whether the ICC is ready to face the Pakistan’s legal battle Morgan said he cannot comment at this stage.
