imageISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board, Shahryar Khan visited Sri Lanka on the last leg of his tour of South Asian cricketing nations.

The purpose of the trip was to improve coordination and forge friendly ties between the Cricket Boards of the four South Asian cricketing nations.

Shahryar Khan, who recently took over as Chairman PCB, met President Sri Lanka Cricket Board Jayantha Dharmadasa in Colombo and discussed matters related to regional and bilateral cricket, according to a message received here Friday from Pakistan's High Commission in Colombo.

Shahryar Khan also briefed the Sri Lankan side about the improved security situation in Pakistan as a result of ongoing military operation against terrorist organizations.

He informed the Sri Lankan Cricket Board that Pakistan is following a gradual and step by step approach to open up and revive International Cricket in Pakistan.

In this regard, the Chairman PCB invited Sri Lanka's women cricket team, A-Team and under 19 teams to visit Pakistan. He assured that foolproof security arrangements will be made for the visiting teams.

The President Sri Lanka Cricket Jayantha Dharmadasa assured fullest support to Pakistan Cricket.

It is pertinent to recall that Pakistan supported revival of International Cricket on Sri Lankan home grounds by sending Pakistan's National Cricket team, during Sri Lanka's prolonged war against terrorism.

The Chairman PCB also called on the High Commissioner of Pakistan in Sri Lanka Maj. Gen. (R) Qasim Qureshi.

He briefed the High Commissioner regarding PCB's efforts to improve coordination and to forge friendly ties between the cricket boards of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

He also updated the High Commissioner about his interactions with the Sri Lankan Cricket Board.
