New Zealand reject Pakistan's request

New Zealand v Pakistan - T20: Game 3

New Zealand Cricket board have rejected Pakistan's request to tour the country later this year. The Black Caps are slated to tour the United Arab Emirates in October and November to face Pakistan in all formats.

PCB wanted the Kiwis to play the T20 series in Pakistan, a request which New Zealand Cricket declined due to security concerns. "At the end of the day it came down to following the advisory and the security reports we'd obtained," NZC chairman Greg Barclay told Newshub.

"There's no doubt they [the Pakistan Cricket Board] are disappointed. I think they saw a tour by a country like New Zealand as being a great precedent for them to start to build an international programme back in Pakistan.

"So they're disappointed but they're good guys, we get on really well with Pakistan, and I think they're fully accepting of the decision that we've reached."
