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."
