Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on Thursday that he raised the issue of one-sided cancellation of the cricket tour of England to Pakistan with his counterpart during his recent visit to Britain.
In a statement, he said the fans of cricket were disappointed with the cancellation of the tour of the English cricket team to Pakistan.
The cancellation of the visit without any consultation caused loss to the state television, Pakistan Cricket Board and the people of Pakistan, he stated.

British foreign secretary said that the cancellation of the tour was not the decision of the government but the England Cricket Board (ECB), he added.
The British minister assured that he would convey the reservations of Pakistan to the ECB, Qureshi said. He said such decisions caused issues for the players and cricket fans, adding the England team should look at its schedule to determine when it could visit Pakistan.
