Ramiz Raja: Obviously it is a painful time for Pakistan cricket. I was hoping the final call on shifting of matches could be delayed a bit more as there is time for the tournament. This decision is not going to go down well with the Pakistani people since the World Cup is a global event and this decision is a big setback for our cricket." Too early a decision: Former PCB chairman Dr Nasim Ashraf . What happened with the Sri Lanka team was the major cause behind the decision. We need to show the world that we are working for end this menace of terriorism but taking sever action against all those involved in the attack and wrap up the inquiry with a positive note. The next thing Pakistan require to do is get the decision revert in the next ICC meeting. Shocking decision Javed Miandad: It is really shocking because the World Cup is still sometime away. I guess a little patience should have been shown by the ICC members," former test captain Javed Miandad, who is now director general of the PCB. ICC acted in haste Rashid Latif said the ICC had acted in haste, especially since the security situation in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh was also uncertain. I don't know how this decision helps international cricket or Pakistan cricket. There is still nearly two years for the World Cup. Why the hurry to take this decision?" Latif said. Why does the ICC single out Pakistan? Moin Khan: Pakistan is not the only country facing security issues. It is happening the world over and yet only we are being targeted and deprived of cricket events." Saleem Altaf, the chief operating officer of the Board, said he had just heard about the news but had no details. "I don't know what has transpired at the ICC meeting in Dubai for this decision to be taken. But it is disappointing as we were keen to host the World Cup matches and were working hard on a security plan to convince the ICC and other countries," he said.Altaf said he would wait to learn about more details from PCB Chairman Ejaz Butt, who was attending the two-day ICC meeting in Dubai, before making any further comments. Altaf will be going to Dubai for the Pakistan and Australia series, starting April 22. The shifting of the World Cup matches came just three months after the ICC had also relocated the Champions Trophy from Pakistan on security grounds.
