New Zealand Cricket has refused to tour Pakistan for a T20 international series later this year, local media reported on Tuesday.
This tour would be Black Caps’ first tour to Pakistan in 15 years, but it won’t be happening, said an official from New Zealand Cricket.
“At the end of the day it came down to following the advisory and the security reports we’d obtained.” NZ Cricket chairman Greg Barclay told NEWSHUB.
New Zealand are scheduled to play Pakistan in the Green Shirts’ ‘adopted home ground’ of United Arab Emirates in October in three Tests, three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 matches.
Kiwis last visited Pakistan in 2003, a year after a bomb blast outside the team’s hotel in Karachi ended their tour prematurely.
