The International Cricket Council (ICC) has indicated that Pakistan is still set to receive money for hosting the 2011 Cricket World Cup despite being stripped of all the matches due to be held in the country.

Security concerns had resulted in the ICC's decision to redistribute a total of 14 fixtures between tournament's three other co-hosts - India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, which will not receive additional hosting fees for staging Pakistan's allocated matches. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had commenced legal proceedings over the ICC's decision, but has now agreed to suspend its action until further discussions can be held.

ICC president David Morgan said: "There was a great deal of sympathy within the meeting for Pakistan's position as the issues its cricket administrators face are completely beyond their control. "What we need to do is to settle this matter as quickly as possible within the ICC family as we need to press on with our preparations for the ICC Cricket World Cup which is less than two years away."
