The Indian Cricket League has decided to call off its Season 2 ICL World Series tournament because of the terror attacks in Mumbai on November 26.

The decision to call off the ongoing series was taken last evening at an executive board meeting.

Speaking on this, ICL Executive Board member, Kiran More said, "We have taken the decision of calling off the rest of the ICL World Series tournament. We believe that it is inappropriate to continue the series under the given circumstances. All players and officials are under appropriate security."

In the wake of terror attacks in Mumbai, dope-tainted pacer Mohammad Asif has cancelled his visit to Mumbai as the hearing of the drugs inquiry tribunal of the IPL has been delayed.

Asif was scheduled to leave for India on Thursday to appear before the drug inquiry tribunal on November 29.

Speaking with the media persons, Asif said, ''After the Mumbai attacks, I called them up to find out the status quo of the drugs tribunal hearing and they told me they will convey fresh dates later on to me."

Karachi, Nov 28: PCB chairman Ijaz Butt and the Board’s Director-General Javed Miandad reportedly held high-level meetings with leading Pakistan government functionaries in Karachi in a bid to ensure that the first leg of the home series against India is held smoothly here in January.

Karachi is scheduled to host the opening match of the three-Test series from January 13. However, the series is in jeopardy because of security fears.
