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.
