England too calls off Pak tour over security concerns

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) arrived at the decision to withdraw after deliberating over the weekend, pulling out of what would have been the



country’s first tour of Pakistan since 2005. The England men’s team had been due to play back-to-back T20 Internationals on October 13 and 14 as part of their preparations for the World Cup that starts in the UAE the following week, while the women’s side were scheduled to play two T20 Internationals and three ODIs.
