SA too pulls out of Pak test tour.....

South Africa has become the latest team to pull out of a scheduled Test tour to Pakistan because of security concerns.

The Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Ejaz Butt confirmed that South Africa have expressed their inability to visit Pakistan in October-November this year to play three Tests and five one-dayers.

"They have offered to instead host the series in South Africa as a 'home' series for Pakistan which means we will technically be the hosts," Butt said.

The former Test player said he has told the South Africans that Pakistan was looking at other neutral venue options including the United Arab Emirates and Sri Lanka.

"But we will definitely be hosting the series on schedule as it is an important one for us. We will decide on the neutral venues soon," he said.

Since the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore last march, there has been no international cricket in Pakistan due to the security conditions.

Pakistan has since played a home one-day series against Australia and New Zealand in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and a Test series in New Zealand.

It is also trying to arrange a bilateral series against arch-rivals India at a neutral venue and this year will also host Australia for two tests and two Twenty20 matches in England.

What a 'racist' move by SA, what say Faisal?

Can you not read Vikas?


If there was a world tournament in SA(like the recent CT where India got pwned) and every other country EXCEPT Pak is invited then we can compare their behavior with the BCCI and IPL....until then carry on with lame excuses for the shameful behavior of Modi(s)

Vikas pwned . . . .

Shame on India. Hypocritical set of racists.

Pakistan would be quite right to refuse South Africa's offer of playing the series in South Africa with Pakistan being the 'home' team. It should be played in the UAE somewhere.

Perhaps.

Thats because we don't refuse to play anywhere in Pakistan to show 'solidarity' to our slain Hindu brothers as leaders of a 'Hindu' nation. We don't use such excuses to provoke and disturb communal harmony in the country where we are touring. I think PP's hypocritical game was up the moment he advocated that his Muslim players should not play in Gujarat and then accused us of playing politics with player selection in IPL....

And if snubbing these Pakistani players who hypocritically refused to play a test in Ahmedabad for political ends and to create problems for us back then, and are now dying to play there in IPL means 'racism', then I accept it wholeheartedly. There should be more of the same. I am glad to be 'pwned' anytime anyplace for the same. Guess we refused to play them in IPL on account of their skin colour no?

Watch that Gary. Pakistan players not playing IPL has nothing to do with racism, and you cannot accuse racism here because a private club body didn't choose some Pakistani players due to some political issues they may be facing.
