Aware of the turmoil in Pakistan, the International Cricket Council today asked organisers of the 2011 World Cup to consider shifting venues to another city, even to another country, if situation so demands.

Addressing a press conference after the meeting of the 2011 World Cup Central Organising Committee here, ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat said the turmoil in Pakistan was a "consideration" for the governing body which asked the organisers to consider alternate venues in case of an emergency.
