Australia have won the last two World Cup tournaments
|
Australia will go ahead with their bid to host the 2011 World Cup despite claims from Pakistan that they would defer to a joint Asian bid.
Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are planning to collaborate in a joint bid to host the 2011 World Cup.
But Cricket Australia's Peter Young said Australia were keen on staging the event, possibly with New Zealand.
Young said: "The International Cricket Council is asking for expressions of interest and we are interested."
He added: "The deadline is February and we will be going ahead with that."
The ICC is expected to make a decision in June.
Australia co-hosted the 1992 World Cup with New Zealand.
"We are confident we can host a world-class tournament," Young said. "We haven't hosted the World Cup since 1992 and we have all the facilities and personnel to stage an event of this size again.
