Windies concerned over tour of Pak
The West Indian Cricket Board is worried over its team's planned tour of Pakistan, but has given a go ahead to play in Sri Lanka, reports SADA news agency.
West Indian Board officials met in Antigua at the weekend and decided there
were no risks in going to Sri Lanka, starting in the first week of November.
They, however, deferred a decision on touring Pakistan. West Indies
officials would meet Pakistan Cricket Board officials at the International
Cricket Council (ICC) meeting to get security assurances.
The ICC meets in Kuala Lumpur October 16-19. The West Indies is scheduled to
tour Pakistan from January 29 until March 4 but is worried due to U.S. plans
to launch retaliatory attacks on Afghanistan.
New Zealand cancelled its tour of Pakistan last month. The West Indies team
was to play three Tests and as many one-day games in Pakistan.
