W Cup safety review ordered

NEW DELHI (AFP): Indian cricket officials are to check all venues in the country for next year's World Cup after the stadium wall collapse in Nagpur on Sunday which killed nine spectators and injured 70.

"What happened at Nagpur was horrifying and I have asked officials there to get to the bottom of the matter," said Inderjit Singh Bindra, president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Bindra stressed that a review had been ordered before Sunday's tragedy during the India-New Zealand one-day international. A newly constructed wall at the renovated Nagpur stadium collapsed during the lunch break.
