Pakistan unlikely to host New Zealand


New Zealand appear unlikely to visit Pakistan for a three-match ODI series in the lead-up to the Champions Trophy, according to the PCB. New Zealand originally agreed to the tour, which would have given them a good chance to acclimatise ahead of the main eight-team event.

But New Zealand are one of the teams that have shown reluctance to visit Pakistan for the Champions Trophy due to security concerns.

Nobody cares about NZ to be fairly honest :p

I don't think the PCB are buggered about it, I guess if NZ say we'll come, then they'll host them, else they're not bothered.
 
shoaib is back good news for the rest of the cricketing world.

long live the doping world, showering your teammate with love by smacking him with the bat.

Let the Controversies continue. :cheers


anyways, If CT is held in pak and if it is played, then I'd back SAF to win it this time. Saf -SL final.
 
Yes this time shoaib will bang Afridi's head for continuously doping for years and not being caught or banned :p
 
Champions Trophy security issues remain

May wants more action in Pakistan



Tim May, the chief executive of the global players' union, believes Pakistan must do more to ensure the safety of players at next month's Champions Trophy. May will form part of an ICC task force that will attempt to allay the touring fears of New Zealand in meetings on Thursday before travelling to Australia on Friday.

In the Herald Sun May, who represents the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations, praised the Pakistan Cricket Board for its efforts, but said more had to be done. And he said it was not too late to make the changes.

"One of the concerns of the task force is that we haven't been able to see enough of, let's say, the implementation of the security forces," May told the paper. "We need to speak to the players and governing bodies and see if they are in the same position too, if they want to see some more."

That's a good move Don't declare till the Security in Pakistan get's good enough for all to play as there was a Bomb blast recently
 
Champions trophy should be moved now. Few days ago again bombings took place in Peshwar. ICC should now act strictly.
 
I still don't understand, why would terrorists attack cricketers? they only will attack politicians or businessmen. These players should stop acting like pussycats

Cricketers are more popular, and more respected. If you can kill a cricketer, it makes a huge impact and its bigger than killing a politician/businessman.

You cant just go by the history of the bombings and who have been the victims. When the situation is not right, you just dont take the risk.
 
Well i guess thats enough, my head is spinning already :p

Pakistanis should not allow these players like Andrew Symonds :D to enter their country also
 
First of all, the bomb blast today in Lahore occured at a police post. The target were POLICEMEN. Not security guard / officials. Not citizens.

Also I'm quite irritated to see you guys open your bloody mouths without even expressing condolences to those who lost their lives in another tragic incident.

As if we're third-rate citizens.

Somethings are slightly more important than tournaments such as the ICC Champions Trophy, and all of you guys are on about how it should be moved.

Inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oon
