The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has cancelled a warm-up tour in Pakistan for England's men's and women's teams following last week's security concerns expressed by New Zealand

Disappointed with England, pulling out of their commitment & failing a member of their Cricket fraternity when it needed it most. Survive we will inshallah. A wake up call for Pak team to become the best team in the world for teams to line up to play them without making excuses.Ramiz Raja, the chairman of the PCB, expressed disappointment over the decision, seen as a massive blow to the South Asian country's hopes of staging regular international cricket.

Speaking to Sky News, he said:"Its disappointing because [England's decision] may have a domino effect [causing other teams to pull out]." The PCB is confident in its security arrangements and believes the country is safe to host international cricket despite New Zealand's hasty exit. "Their support of English and Welsh cricket over the last two summers has been a huge demonstration of friendship. We are sincerely sorry for the impact this will have on cricket in Pakistan and emphasise an ongoing commitment to our main touring plans there for 2022."
