No security concerns in Pak: Whatmore


Tuesday, 03-July-2012

 

LAHORE: Pakistan cricket coach, Dav Whatmore said Monday that there were no security concerns in Pakistan as he expressed disappointment over Bangladesh’s decision to cancel its tour. Bangladesh were scheduled to tour Pakistan in April but cancelled the tour after a High Court in the country issued a stay order for four weeks. The tour would have marked the return of international cricket to Pakistan after it was suspended following the attack on the tour bus of the Sri Lankan cricket team.
