KARACHI (AFP) — Pakistan's cricket chief on Wednesday denied boycotting a meeting in India that handed the country's World Cup 2011 matches to co-hosts and called again for talks on winning back the fixtures.
The Central Organising Committee (COC) of the World Cup 2011 met in Mumbai on Tuesday and redistributed the 14 matches originally given to Pakistan. Eight went to India, four to Sri Lanka and two to Bangladesh.
Pakistan, which was stripped of its matches by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in April over security fears, was invited to the meeting as the fourth co-host but no Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) representative attended.
PCB chairman Ijaz Butt denied Pakistan had refused to go to the event.
