As for NZ pullout, it seems a little fishy because first England's govt said there was no security risk, and then now we have Australia agreeing to tour Pakistan. Whether they come or not is to be seen, but the fact that they even agreed is a little interesting.
@cricketjoshila you yap your mouth so much about India being a holier than thou in everything
How do you explain this barbaric behaviour?? https://youtu.be/Hy-6VnKXwhA Can’t take a loss??!!
Your country cannot gaurentee protection to Pakistan players for IPL yet you yapp about countries having history of teams being attacked????
The pot calling the kettle black, eh?Quote:

I don't think cricket tours will be impacted due to burning a foreigner. It may have an impact on fans from outside visiting Pakistan. Not just fans, any foreigner, who comes across this news, may feel impacted. It's human nature.Quote:

I don't think local law and order will have too much impact on tours. But this good Taliban and bad Taliban, Good terrorist and bad terrorist is simply not acceptable outside Pakistan. Pakistan is yet to realize it or purposely chose to ignore it for various reasons. It won't have a direct impact on tours, but it's guaranteed that the same security threat will be seen differently by visiting parties when it comes to Pakistan. An unfortunate situation as cricket fans, but that's the reality.
Fair points, but I think this "good Taliban" talk isn't really the concern nowadays. It's about amount of terrorism incidents that occur. The country has very few incidents nowadays which is good.Quote:

Indeed. Earlier Aus was not even entertaining that idea, so it's a good thing. Pakistan just needs to keep inviting teams and slowly international teams will make a part of a normal tour. Just needs to have patience. I still remember Fanie roaming in Pakistan on a bicycle. With time when players feel safe, it may happen in the future as well.Quote:

Thankfully with Australia and now England here, such occurrences will not happen.
Felt like a stab in the back.Quote:

But I fee because of that incident the foreign teams are now more likely to complete their tour instead of going back without any issue. For example if NZ didn't backed out then there's no way that Australia would have continued the tour after the blast in Peshawar's Masjid.
blast in i10/4 isb, I doubt NZ tour will take place now
