Malaysia to host Pepsi ICC WCL Division 3
Dubai, Sept 23 (IBNS) The International Cricket Council (ICC) Tuesday announced that Pepsi ICC World Cricket League (WCL) Division 3 will take place from 23 to 30 Oct in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Uganda was to host the six-team competition from Oct 26 to Nov 2. However, due to a recent elevation in the ICC’s ongoing safety and security assessment level, it has been decided to relocate the event to the Malaysian capital.
In coming to this decision, the ICC coordinated with a range of local authorities and security experts.
Announcing the decision, ICC Chief Executive David Richardson said: “The safety and security of players and officials is of paramount importance to the ICC, and despite the excellent cooperation received from the Ugandan government and the Uganda Cricket Association, due to recent events beyond the control of the ICC and the Uganda Cricket Association, we were ultimately uncertain if a secure environment could still be provided.
“Thankfully, the Malaysian Cricket Association has offered to host the tournament at short notice, and, based on previous experience, we anticipate a successful event in Kuala Lumpur.”
The six teams competing in the event are Bermuda, Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore, Uganda and the USA.
