New Delhi, Mar 09 (ANI): Ending the weeks of uncertainty over the fate of the India-Pakistan clash in the World Twenty20, the International Cricket Council chief executive, David Richardson, on Wednesday confirmed that the venue of the much-anticipated match on March 19 has been moved from Dharamsala to Kolkata due to security concerns. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Anurag Thakur criticised Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh for changing his statements and showing negative response over the India-Pakistan clash scheduled to be held in Dharamsala on March 19. He said that he thinks that now it's International Cricket Council (ICC) who has to take the call. He also said that the HP Government has again shown that for them it's family first, party next and nation last. He also went on saying that the kind of embarrassment they've created for country and the kind of projection they've given is not fair on part of any CM.
