Indian Sub-continent to lose world cup
A few days back it was almost confirmed that the Indian subcontinent will host the next Cricket world cup to be held in 2011. Things seem to be changing fast and probably India (along with Pakistan and Sri Lanka) will not be able or allowed to host the next world cup.
What is the reason? Terror attacks.
Sri Lanka is known for its ‘ever lasting’ fight with ‘LTTE tigers’ and is never considered a safe place. Pakistan is also known to be a very unsafe place. Finally the recent terror attacks on the city of Mumbai in India have added India in the lest of unsafe countries. With all the three countries in the subcontinent prone to terror attacks, the International Cricket Control (ICC) has decided to reconsider the feasibility of organizing the next world cup in the sub continent.
The ICC Executive Council will meet in South Africe next week to decide on this issue. In case the decision goes against the Indian sub continent, Australia and New Zealand might be the venue for the next world cup.
