ICC to review Pakistan's hosting of 2011 World Cup

The future of international cricket in Pakistan appears more uncertain than ever this morning, after Sri Lanka cancelled their tour of the country in the wake of the terror attacks in Lahore.
Masked gunmen opened fire on the Sri Lankan team as they travelled from their hotel to the Gaddafi stadium, killing eight people and injuring at least five cricketers. The squad has now been airlifted to safety.
The attacks have thrown Pakistan's co-hosting of the 2011 World Cup into doubt and Haroon Lorgat, the chief executive of the International Cricket Council (ICC), has called for urgent talks to discuss the issue. .
"In the next day or two we will have to make some serious decisions and we will," he said.
