Pakistan will not boycott New Zealand in World Cup: PCB The match between Pakistan and New Zealand in the T20 World Cup will be played on October 26 in Sharjah.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has said that Pakistan will not boycott the match against New Zealand in the T20 World Cup to be played next month.
The statement from the Pakistan Cricket Board came after New Zealand unilaterally ended its tour of Pakistan and left the country.
According to AFP, the New Zealand cricket team's departure from the tour is a difficult situation for Pakistan, which is trying to resume the tour of foreign teams after the 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan team.Is.
Ahead of the first one-day international between Pakistan and New Zealand on Friday, New Zealand had refused to play the match at the Rawalpindi Stadium due to a "security threat". No details have been released by New Zealand yet.
The Pakistan Cricket Board had reacted strongly to New Zealand's decision and Pakistan was being asked to boycott New Zealand, but according to PCB chief executive Wasim Khan, no such decision is under consideration.
Wasim Khan added: So far we have no chance of playing against New Zealand. We have a responsibility to the cricket fans and we will fulfill that responsibility.
He also ruled out the possibility of players wearing black bandanas in protest.
Wasim Khan said, We have to be very careful in this regard. We don't want to take a path that has a political dimension or protest. "
The match between Pakistan and New Zealand in the T20 World Cup will be played on October 26 in Sharjah.
According to the PCB chief executive, New Zealand's cancellation of the distance has created "political tension" between the PCB and New Zealand cricket because the manner in which it was done was very "defamatory".
Wasim Khan said, We have done everything for other countries. Our players went to New Zealand and sacrificed 14 days in quarantine. We went to New Zealand even after the mosque was attacked.
He was referring to the March 2019 attack in Christchurch, New Zealand.
According to Wasim Khan, It is very easy to leave countries like Pakistan without any reason, without talking.That fact must be taken into account. "
Wasim Khan said that due to logistical difficulties, the alternative tour efforts of the Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi teams could not be successful.
It may be recalled that the cricket teams of England and Australia are also scheduled to visit Pakistan this year.
