KATHMANDU, March 2: The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Tuesday that it would carry out an internal investigation into the events surrounding the recently concluded Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Division 5 match at the Tribhuvan University Ground, Kathmandu between the hosts Nepal and the United States of America (USA).



The USA won the match, which was temporarily interrupted by unruly crowd, but the subsequent net run-rate calculations meant that Nepal qualified for promotion to Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Division 4 along with the USA, just ahead of Singapore. [break]



A press release issued by the ICC states that it will investigate firstly whether the event technical committee correctly applied and interpreted the tournament regulations and, secondly, the nature of the security breach.



Imran Khwaja, chairman of Singapore Cricket Association, said: "I have spoken with the ICC and I am satisfied with the course of action that they are pursuing."



ICC will announce the findings of the investigation in due course.
