LAHORE - Sri Lanka Cricket officials not ready to tour Pakistan due to security concerns but they invited Pakistan to play series in Sri Lanka, it is reliably learnt.
According to a private TV channel, Sri Lanka's cricket officials on Monday reacted cautiously to an invitation to tour Pakistan. Sri Lanka will not tour Pakistan unless they get security clearance, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) secretary Nishantha Ranatunga said.
Earlier, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had asked Sri Lanka Cricket for their views on playing the scheduled series between the two sides in Pakistan, but Sri Lanka's stand, and a major terrorist attack on Sunday night at a Karachi military base very close to the National Stadium, have severely undermined any hopes of a tour in near future.
Sri Lanka have received several requests from the PCB over the past three or four month regarding a series in Pakistan but SLC is not agree to send Lankan team to Pakistan prior to security clearance, said Ranatunga.
