Question

Pakistan cricket team is currently plagued with the issue of spotfixing, cricket world cup 2011 is just round the corner and Pakistan team has yet to decide its world cup squad.I want to know when Pakistan squad for world cup 2011 will be submitted to ICC.

Answer 1

All participating teams of World Cup 2011 were asked to name their preliminary squads by Dec 19, two months before the quadrennial spectacle gets underway in the sub-continent. But Pakistan were unable to meet the deadline because their three key players are seeking a 'clearance' for national duty.Following a PCB request, Pakistan were allowed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to name their squad by Jan 5.
