What a disaster for India if they refuse to play in India Karachi: The 2011 World Cup, scheduled in the sub-continent, ran into fresh trouble with a senior cricket board official in Karachi indicating that Pakistan might decline to play its matches in India. Saleem Altaf, chief operating officer of the Pakistan Cricket Board, said PCB would take its time before deciding where it would play its 2011 World Cup matches. "It is our right to decide where we play our World Cup matches now that the games have been relocated from Pakistan," he said. PCB officials and former players remain upset after the International Cricket Council decided on Friday to shift the World Cup matches from Pakistan due to security reasons. Pakistan was due to host 14 games, including one semi-final, and the home side was supposed to play all its matches in front of home crowds. But the ICC now has to reschedule and allocate new venues for these 14 matches with India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, the joint hosts of the tournament, vying to get those games. Indications are that India is likely to bag majority share of the World Cup matches shifted from Pakistan. Altaf said the ICC had still not decided where the matches shifted from Pakistan would be held but when the time comes, Pakistan would like to make its own choice. Altaf's comments indicate that the PCB is not particularly keen at this stage to play its games in India. "But we don't know what the situation would be in the next few months, given the strained relations between Pakistan and India. So it is a wait-and-watch game," one source said. Following the ICC decision, many former players have called on the PCB to review its blind trust in the Indian cricket board. The PCB has been asked to adopt an independent policy and allow Indian Cricket League players back into the national team. How will India survive this?? What are we going to do now?? :nervous::nervous::nervous::nervous::nervous::nervous: :finger::finger:

These idiots think that they can decide where they want to play ?? Its simple, the ICC tells you to play in kanpur, then you play in kanpur. If you refuse, then they award the points to the opposing team. Since, most of the games are going to be in India, Its pretty safe to say tht Pak is out of the World cup if they refuse to play in India

[EnterTheVoid]

Lets cut to the chase: They don't want to come, we don't want to host Even if they do want to play, they will be given the :finger: Nobody will play Pakistan at home. Pakistan refuse to play overseas. So, pakka losers either way @Suraj: If possible, can you ammend the title to reflect the news. As it stands, its a little misleading

[Tapioca]

Deluded group of people. They just don't realise that the cricket world no longer gives a damn about them. If Pakistan doesn't take part in the WC, the rest of the world will consider it a good riddance

[spectre]

i am scared !!! :nervous::nervous::nervous: If Pakistan don't play, the WC would be meaningless, for that matter any sporting event

that means no atul sharma :nervous:

[Mamu]

I seriously hope they dont. I hope that will be the end of cricketing ties between India and Pak for a long time to come. I was opposed to all their tours in 2004, 2006 and 2008. There should be no cricket between these two till the conditions improve. To me our nation stands ahead of cricket.

[Anakin]

If they don't come, it'll be icing on the cake for me.

[Dark Warrior]

i agree with mamu

[10DuLKaR]

Their matches will be forfeited.. :hysterical:
