REUTERS: Pakistan head coach Misbah-ul-Haq has requested the support of more cricket-playing nations as the country takes another step towards the revival of international matches on home soil with a limited-overs series against Sri Lanka in Karachi and Lahore.
"I think be it Pakistan, or any other country that has faced similar situation, we need to make sure cricket keeps going," Misbah told reporters ahead of Friday's first one-day international against Sri Lanka in Karachi. "We understand that this wasn't an easy decision... but it is encouraging sign to see Sri Lanka coming here for series."Ten Sri Lankan players opted out of the tour over security fears but their cricket board confirmed the series after being assured of head-of-state-like security by the Pakistan government.
"When you're playing at home ground, you're also different at emotional level. It will be an important moment for all the players," the former Pakistan captain added.
