Court blocks ICC from removing WC headquarter

A Pakistan court today extended an order blocking the International Cricket Council (ICC) from moving the 2011 World Cup headquarters to India.
Pakistan were removed as a World Cup co-host by the ICC last month due to security fears, and Mumbai was nominated by the sport\'s governing body as the tournament\'s new headquarters.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) subsequently filed a case in the court of civil judge Mohammad Younis Aziz at Lahore last month blocking the move.
The PCB requested the extension of the court order until June 18, after a June 15 meeting between the ICC, Pakistan and the 2011 World Cup co-hosts in London.
The meeting is being held to resolve what part if any Pakistan will play in the tournament.
