LAHORE (Staff Report) – West Indies Cricket Board officials on Sunday refused to send their cricket team to Pakistan to play an ODI series, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) sources confirmed.

West Indies and Pakistan are scheduled to play two Tests, five one-days and two T20I matches in United Arab Emirates in September and October this year, and PCB had request West Indies to play ODI matches in Pakistan instead of UAE.

However West Indies, in a response to PCB’s request, said that their team will not be able to play matches in Pakistan amid such vulnerable security situation.

Pakistan has hosted only one Test playing cricketing nation, Zimbabwe, since March 2009 when a group of terrorists attacked Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore while it was on way to Gaddafi Cricket Stadium to play against host country.

This Cameron led WICB just can't get anything right.

Now they're contributing to the continued isolation of the great nation of Pakistan.

Pakistan have to be mad to think west indies will go there so easy. West Indians don't play with life unless you giving them so massie amount of cash.

In reply to Drapsey

and you fans continue to shed (crocodile) tears for Pakistan. Cameron must go so that WI can go to Pakistan and help with the revival of their cricket.

In reply to Khaga

Suh yuh saying that Cameron finally got one right?

Yuh better say it and duck.

If Pak could ensure WI security I see no reason why we shouldn't go there.

Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka etc are nations we should try to assist with their cricket if asked and all things being equal of course

Just shows that contrary to popular belief – they not suicidal

Didn't World Boss and others play in the Pakistani Super League?

What's so different with the security arrangementsystem for test ODI?

I'll guess the money wasn't right for Teflon Don Dave.

In reply to Tagwa1

I think that league was somewhere in the middle east and not Pakistan.

In reply to Devin

Oh that explains it. Thanks.

Probably Pakistani should simply play there and bring the matches on TV as the super league.

Great call Dave, unless they are willing to pay an exorbitant match fee for each player, plus we send JDF soldiers for added proctection at their cost.

Payback time for ensuring that West Indies didn't make it to the champions trophy

The PCB needs to change the series from ODI's to T20's, then they'll come.

The paks n wi are friends. Cameron playing chupidee or what?

Boy, if general musharaf was in charge, all this shoite about security was gwine be tea n water stuff.

In reply to Drapsey

I am sure the players were equally concerned about their safety..A suicide bomber just blew up Christians recently..
WICB made a wide decision regarding the tour to Pakistan..

is anyone playing in Pakistan these days? So why you expect us to go there? Our lives not worth as much as the cricketers from the other countries?

Not even Pakistan playing in Pakistan.

Why would they expect WI to go out of the way for them after they refused a series with WI and Bangladesh in the UAE to keep their Champions Trophy spot?
