World Cup 2011 hosting: PCB withdraw case against ICC
International Cricket Council (ICC) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have resolved their dispute over the staging of the 2011 World Cup. The PCB will retain its host fees and also receive payment as additional compensation for the loss of hosting rights. The two parties reached an agreement during a meeting between the ICC president David Morgan and the PCB chairman Ijaz Butt in Dubai. According to this settlement the PCB will withdraw its legal proceedings against the ICC. David Morgan said that international cricket would return to Pakistan once the ICC deemed the security situation in the country was fit for teams to tour. Ijaz Butt also admitted the bad security situation in Pakistan, adding that staging international events in Pakistan was not good for the game at the moment.
