Pakistan wins, ICC agrees to send international players

27 Apr, 2017

The ICC team will participate in three T20 matches, informed Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Executive Committee Najam Sethi, in a tweet post.

“Giles Clarke has reviewed security report of ICC experts & agreed 3 T20 matches in Pak end Sep of ICC Team of world's TOP current players,” Sethi said.

Meanwhile, the ICC discussed the security situation in Pakistan following the visit of the ICC delegation to the final of the country's Twenty20 league in March in Lahore, during the ICC board meeting held on Wednesday.

"The feasibility of further matches in Pakistan involving a World XI is now being considered from a security and budget perspective," the ICC said in a statement.

Pakistan has been forced to play most of its "home" games in the United Arab Emirates after gunmen fired on a bus carrying Sri Lanka's cricket team in 2009 wounding six players and a British coach, and killing eight Pakistanis.
