Pakistan Lost Matches of 2011 World Cup

Dubai: Pakistan will not host matches in 2011 Cricket World Cup due to uncertain security situation - ICC. India Sub-continentail will host One-day World Cup 2011 with Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

But now ICC shifted all Pakistan match to India.

"It is a regrettable decision (but) our number one priority is to create certainty and...deliver a safe, secure and successful event," ICC president David Morgan said in a statement.

Pakistan were due to co-host the event with India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

"It is highly unlikely that we will have the security clearance between now and the start date in 2011," said Morgan when asked if Pakistan would host international tournaments in the near future.

Pakistan were due to co-host the event with India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and the ICC said they would press ahead with the matches in those countries.

The ICC last year postponed the Champions Trophy, the second most important one-day event, due to security concerns in Pakistan and then shifted it to South Africa to be held later this year.
