According to media reports of the time, a reliable source in NZC had received information about the security threat before the match started. After this, after consulting the security officials deployed for the match and the New Zealand government, the board decided to cancel the entire series and asked the Pakistan Cricket Board to make arrangements to leave Pakistan as soon as possible. Regarding this matter, NZC Chief Executive Officer David White said at that time – The safety of the players is paramount, and after the increase in the threat level, we felt this was the only responsible step of action. Huge news this, about New Zealand pulling out of their tour of Pakistan and heading back home.

“Security is the first priority for India, not here…”, former Pakistani cricketer exposed his country
Looking at the situation in Pakistan, I say that the Indian team should not go to Pakistan – Danish Kaneria Team India (Photo Source: Getty Images) The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played in Pakistan from 19 February to 9 March next year. Whether India will be a part of this tournament or not is still a question mark. The BCCI says that the Indian government will decide whether the team will go to Pakistan or not. Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Danish Kaneria has said that the Indian team should not go to Pakistan as the situation is not conducive. Kaneria also stressed that the safety of the players is the first priority, so the tournament should be held in a hybrid model. Indian team should not go to Pakistan – Danish Kaneria Former Pakistani player Danish Kaneria, while talking on Sports Tak, said, Looking at the situation in Pakistan, I would say that the Indian team should not go to Pakistan and Pakistan should think about it. The ICC will take its decision and most likely the Champions Trophy will be played in Dubai under a hybrid model. Safety of the players is the first priority, respect is the second priority. I think the BCCI is doing a great job. Whatever their decision will be, other countries will also have to accept it. I think it will be a hybrid model. India does not tour Pakistan due to security reasons. Asia Cup 2023 was jointly held in Sri Lanka and Pakistan, as India refused to tour Pakistan. The Pakistan Cricket Board cancelled the first Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Lahore as construction work is going on at the stadium. The match was then played at the Rawalpindi Stadium. The PCB says that the stadium is not equipped enough to hold ICC events. However, Danish Kaneria spoke about the issues and said that security is the biggest threat. They (PCB) are equipped, but they have to upgrade the infrastructure first. Security is the biggest concern, a big question mark…

I think you must have seen in the Asia Cup that the Bangladesh team went to Pakistan and they provided us state-level security and we agreed to go on this tour because they assured us of that,” BCB cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus told reporters on Wednesday. He further said, “You must have seen in recent times that some international teams have also visited (Pakistan) and they are quite happy with the security provided. We are also very concerned about security but after knowing everything and getting assurance from them about security, we have decided to tour. Also, we have requested the government to provide us a security advisor during the tour who will keep communicating with them all the time about security issues.”
