London, June 20: The Pakistan Cricket Board will resume legal proceedings against the International Cricket Council after talks over hosting World Cup matches in 2011 failed.

"The PCB sought the support of its fellow Asian co-hosts for matches to be played under the aegis of the PCB in a safe neutral venue.

"Despite the fact that these discussions had been helpfully and constructively brokered by ICC president David Morgan and vice-president Sharad Pawar, no progress was made. This will mean that organisational issues surrounding the 2011 World Cup remain unresolved and that the legal proceedings the PCB has brought against the ICC in Dubai and in Lahore will continue," the PCB said in a statement here.

The PCB’s stand came after a meeting of officials from the four co-hosts — India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh — at Lord’s on Saturday.

Pakistan had served legal notices on the ICC after being stripped of hosting rights in the wake of the militant attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore on March 3 and the volatile security situation back home.
