The ICC on Monday said it will take about a month's time to decide an "appropriate sanction" on Feroze Shah Kotla as an international venue in the wake of Sunday's pitch fiasco which led to the abandonment of the fifth and final ODI between India and Sri Lanka.

Lorgat said the ICC had not given any report on the unsuitability of the Kotla pitch. It had only sent a routine report on the inspection done prior to the preparations of the 2011 World Cup in the sub-continent.
"It is too early to conclude. You must wait for the process to take its course. It will take five days for the match referee and the chief referee to discuss the issue and then BCCI would be given a notice to respond in 14 days," he said.
"Then it depends on Madugalle to prepare the final report which would take about 10 to 14 days. So, it would be fair to say that it would take about a month's time to complete the entire process. But his is not the final word on the time schedule for the process," he added.
