Melbourne, Mar 7 : Australia has ruled out hosting the 2011 world cup, which is due to be held in the sub continent, except in dire circumstances.
Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland believes that the subcontinent will still hold the 2011 world cup despite this week's terrorist attack on Sri Lankan team in Lahore.
Joint 2015 hosts Australia and New Zealand are reserve nations for 2011, but Sutherland said Australia did not want the event and had not been approached to hold it.
