Pakistan's captain Shahid Afridi has played down his earlier claims that he would rather play Cricket World Cup matches in Sri Lanka than India.


Afridi said Pakistan would be happy to play their World Cup knockout stage matches in either host country, despite earlier raising concern over India's security.


"It does not matter to us where we play our quarter-final. The biggest issue for us was to qualify for the knockout stage and we have done that now," Afridi said on Geo TV.


"We are ready to play our quarter-final at any venue now," the experienced all-rounder said.


Cricket World Cup tickets are available now.
