ICC LIKELY TO REVISIT WORLD CUP PARTICIPATION DECISION

New Delhi: The President of the International Cricket Council, Sharad Pawar said on Tuesday that he will request the board's Executive Committee to reconsider its decision to allow only its 10 full members to participate in the next World Cup in 2015.

After receiving representations from the Associate and Affiliate Members of the ICC, Pawar said that the matter needed to be looked into again with careful consideration. "I have given this matter further serious thought and will request the Board to consider this topic once more," he said in a statement.

Emphasizing that he understands the views of the associate members, Pawar added that 'the matter needs to be resolved by the ICC in the best manner possible.'

Pawar said he will request the Board to revisit the issue during its annual conference in Hong Kong in June.

The ICC had recieved a lot of criticism for its decision to exclude associate nations from its plans for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. The decision was taken in its meeting on April 4, at Mumbai.

STADIUM B/W PAKISTAN & INDIA BORDER SAID ZAHEER ABBAS

The Asian Bradman "ZAHEER ABBAS"  said that the cricket stadium should be between Pakistan & India border...
He said b/w there borders stadium should be built so that so in that manner the both team may  bring cricket revival against each other....

because the current political scenario of both nations it's not looking that they will go to each other home for playing...because both may feel the un secure in each other homeland ..

Pakistan last month played their first cricket match in India -- the World Cup semi-final -- since the November 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai that left 166 people dead and which New Delhi blamed on extremists across the border.

Zaheer Abbas said.."Build a stadium at Wagah border so that there are no problems of India not coming to Pakistan, and Pakistan not going to India," Abbas, a former Pakistan captain, told AFP.

Pakistan Cricket Board officials have said they are in discussion with their Indian counterparts for a short cricket series later this year, although security fears for travelling teams in Pakistan remains a stumbling block.
Pakistan have played games and series in neutral countries, but Abbas said that was damaging.
"If Pakistan and India play at a neutral venue, how will people of both the countries get to watch Indo-Pak series? It should be in India or Pakistan," he said.
