Moot cancelled over security

Published September 5, 2002

KARACHI, Sept 4: The International Cricket Council (ICC) cancelled a development committee meeting scheduled here for next month after delegates refused to visit Pakistan over security fears, officials said Wednesday.

“The ICC has conveyed to us that some of the delegates had concerns over their security and since the quorum was not complete the meeting would now be held in Amsterdam in the Netherlands on the same dates on Oct 20 and 21,” an Asian Cricket Council spokesman told AFP.

ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed was expected to preside over the meeting scheduled for Lahore.—AFP
