Pakistan had been due to host 14 matches from the tournament. The Times of India reports that the agreement was reached at a meeting between ICC president David Morgan and Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ijaz Butt.
“I'm glad we were able to come to an amicable agreement and I believe this is a fair resolution for the PCB and the ICC,” Morgan said.
“This resolution is good for world cricket and provides an improved platform for the World Cup as we now have a degree of certainty surrounding the event that was not there while the dispute was ongoing.”
