Chiefs of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh cricket boards will meet in the summer resort of Bhurban in Pakistan on May 18-19 to constitute the organising committee for the 2011 World Cup. Saleem Altaf, who has taken over as in charge of the cell for the organisation of the 2008 Champions Trophy and 2011 World Cup in Pakistan, yesterday said the meeting was crucial as it would signal the start of serious preparations for the next World Cup. ''All formalities and arrangements have been completed for the meeting which will be the first for the heads of the four boards to purely discuss the World Cup and form the joint organising committee and other committees,'' he was quoted as saying to 'The News'. The ICC had awarded the hosting rights of the 2011 World Cup to the Asian nations against a strong joint bid from Australia and New Zealand. It has already been decided that the World Cup final would be held in India with Pakistan and Sri Lanka hosting the semifinals and Bangladesh the opening ceremony. UNI XC SAM DH RS1539
