Sabkush Headlines: Lorgat: India safe to host World Cup
Lorgat: India safe to host World Cup
"The World Cup is the big piece of work that we have to deliver and we intend to do so. The whole issue of security is dynamic, but we will assess it very carefully and implement whatever measures are necessary to ensure safety and security. I do not share the same concerns for India as Pakistan," The News quoted Lorgat, as saying. Clouds of concern began looming large over next year`s world cup after the leakage of a security report that advises cricketers to seriously consider withdrawing from the Indian Premier League due of credible terrorism threat by Al-Qaeda. Written by the England team`s security advisor Reg Dickason, the report has been commissioned by players` associations in England, Australia and South Africa. The report further antagonises relations between IPL commissioner Lalit Modi and FICA chief executive Tim May. Any major disruption to the IPL would automatically put next year`s World Cup in difficulty, with India co-hosting it with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh as a major party.
