Afghanistan has been the only team to have toured Pakistan since the 2009 Lahore attack on the Sri Lankan team bus. Bangladesh looked likely to be the second but the delay in sending a security team, plus the International Cricket Council’s intervention, has put a spanner in the works.
Wassan, in a meeting held to discuss the law and order situation in Karachi, termed the city a safe place for foreign teams and vowed full security for any cricket matches that take place in the province.
Meanwhile, the advisor to Sindh Home Department Sharifuddin Memon said, “we think international cricket should resume and we’d love for teams to visit Pakistan”.
