New Delhi:International Cricket Council (ICC) Thursday said that no international matches will be played at the Ferozshah Kotla stadium until the end of December following the abandonment of the India-Sri Lanka one-day international here last month due to an unfit pitch.

The ruling means Kotla will be able to host the matches of 2011 World Cup.

“The ICC pitch consultant will inspect the Kotla ground as soon as possible and oversee a programme of remedial work throughout the year designed to ensure the pitch returns to the standard required to host international cricket, especially the 2011 World Cup as planned,” ICC said in a statement.
