LAHORE, Sep 17 (APP): Pakistan Cricket Board said on Friday that New Zealand Cricket earlier today informed us they had been alerted to some security alert and have unilaterally decided to postpone the series.
“Pakistan Cricket Board and Pakistan Government made foolproof security arrangements for all visiting teams. We have assured the New Zealand Cricket of the same. The Pakistan Prime Minister, Imran Khan spoke personally to the Prime Minister of New Zealand and informed her that we have one of the best intelligence systems in the world and that no security threat of any kind exists for the visiting team” said a spokesman of the PCB here.
The security officials with the New Zealand team have been satisfied with security arrangements made by the Pakistan Government throughout their stay here, he added.
“PCB is willing to continue the scheduled matches. However, cricket lovers in Pakistan and around the world will be disappointed by this last minute withdrawal”, he said
