In a major development, West Indies have postponed three-match Twenty20 series tour of Pakistan with many senior players expressing concerns about their security in the country, the sources have claimed.
The tour will now be planned next year when a window is available to both the teams even as the Pakistan Cricket Board has made no official comment on the fate of the tour.
“Some of the players were reluctant to tour when the West Indies Board spoke to them. Seniors like Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Dawyne Bravo made it clear they would not be available for the series if it went ahead,” one source said.
“Even the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) had concerns despite being sent the report of the security company hired by the ICC to inspect security situation and arrangements in Pakistan,” the source added.
In last two months, Pakistan Cricket has witnessed a much needed revive, when a World XI team traveled the country to play a three t20 match series. Moreover, Sri Lanka, in a honest intent to support the Pakistan Cricket, has played a t20 match at. Lahore on 29th September.
