Don't think any country should feel insecure here: Thakur

He further said that it was up to Pakistan to decide whether they wanted to participate the World T20 in India or not.

"BCCI will organise the World Cup in the nicest possible way and will provide every team with highest protection. Earlier also we have hosted many World Cups and international matches and I don't think any country should feel insecure here," Thakur told reporters here.

Bilateral series is totally a different topic but in the World Cup teams from across the world will come and participate. Pakistan is one among those 16 teams and the Indian government will provide complete security to all the teams. I think all the qualifying teams should come and participate in the World Cup. India is ready and if any country has some issues then they need to decide about it," he added.

Pakistan's cricket chief Shaharyar Khan had earlier stated that a proposal was sent to play their ICC World Twenty20 matches on neutral venues next month in the event Islamabad does not allow the team to tour India.

Earlier, The PCB said its side might withdraw from the upcoming event if the Pakistan government did not permit them to tour India.
