The possibility of the Feroz Shah Kotla being disqualified from hosting the 2011 World Cup remains high after ICC match referee Alan Hurst classified the pitch as unfit in his official report to the ICC, which was forwarded to the BCCI. The report was submitted in the aftermath of the abandonment of the fixture between India and Sri Lanka due to dangerous pitch. The classification is the harshest among the six stated categories very good, good, above average, below average, poor and unfit. The venue could have got away with a fine had Hurst classified the surface as poor but given his most critical assessment, the consequences could be much worse.
