Sri Lanka offers to tour Pakistan if India don't
As doubts continue to hover around India's tour to Pakistan next month, options have finally begun to emerge for a cricket-starved Pakistan. Though no official contact has yet been made between the boards, Sri Lanka has already expressed its readiness to replace India for the tour.

I think personally that the tour might get cancelled...The fact is Pakistan has not played test at home for a year now..Nobody is going Pakistan due to security reasons...Their players havent played test at home for a year now,thats a long break...Will SL go there?I think for time being India's tour will be postponed and they might go in 2010 or something like that,they will wait till the situation gets better...

India call off tour of Pakistan
The Indian board has called off next year's tour of Pakistan, following a directive from the government. The series was in doubt following a deterioration in relations between the two countries, a fallout of the Mumbai attacks which India alleges had links to elements in Pakistan.
"We have received a letter from Indian goverrnment stating that, in the prevailing circumstances, India's tour of Pakistan is not feasible", Ratnakar Shetty, the BCCI's chief administrative officer, said.

Yes. It had to happen.
See, Things can be raised like India not touring Pakistan and England touring India Despite and Regarding both Pakistan and India are prone to Terror Attacks. Because, 1). Take those people off saying the particular nation they're of is as safe as the other country which too experienced terror attacks. I'm being indirect.
2). Why can't india tour pakistan when england could in such a tense situation in india? There's an answer that's given to all of us, Few months back. Yes, i'm talking about the Champions Trophy 2008. England was one of those who weren't completely satisfied to tour pakistan to play the champions trophy and India was those which supported pakistan to go forward to play CT.
Now, If India's deciding NOT To tour pakistan, then imagine how big the step and it's value is. It's for the safety of the people, why take chances?
But still, what can the board of pakistan and the people do? It's not their fault and they TOO want Cricket in their home. Who wouldn't like to?..

Based on what most of you are saying, the tour was called off because for political reasons and not security reasons!!!
