LONDON: The Chairman of the Pakistani Cricket Council Ramiz King said on Tuesday he felt “used and then binned” after England canceled a white ball tour for their men’s teams and women next month.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) quoted “increasing concerns about traveling to the region” just days after New Zealand was also pulled out of the tour to Pakistan for security issues.
However, the High Commissioner of England to Pakistan, Christian Turner, confirmed the decision was taken by the ECB on the grounds of the welfare of the player.
The first trip by the British English to Pakistan since 2005 was only intended to last four days with two matches twenty -20 in Rawalpindi on 13 and 14 October.
Two T20 Women’s matches are scheduled for the same days with three international women’s women to follow in the same city.
The reaction to withdrawals in Pakistan was very angry.
Pakistan went to England last year at a time when the level of Covid-19 infection in the UK was among the world’s highest for three matches and T20 series that saved millions of ECB in television rights transactions.
“It feels used and then binned.
That’s the feeling I currently have,” King told reporters.
“A little handling hands, a little concern is needed after New Zealand pulls out and we don’t get it from England so frustrating.” We have gone out of our way to meet international demands, becoming a member who is responsible for the brotherhood of cricket, and in return we get a response from the ECB which says the players are sharpened by the withdrawal of New Zealand.
What does it mean? “New Zealand officials refused to provide details of security threats that forced them to suddenly cancel their match.
The deadly attack on the Sri Lankan team’s bus in Lahore saw Pakistan being a destination that was not there for the international team.
In 2012 and 2015 Pakistan organized UK In the UAE, which has held most of their “home” games since the attack.
Quick increase in security in recent years has caused the return of international cricket, with Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, West Indies, South Africa and Bangladesh tour in the last six years.
“I shared the deep sadness of cricket fans who would not tour Pakistan in October,” Turner said in a video posting on Twitter.
“This is a decision made by the ECB.
, which is independent of the British government, based on concern for the welfare of players.
“The UK High Commission supports tours; it does not recommend opposing it in the security field; and our travel advice for Pakistan has not changed.” This series should be part of preparation for British men ahead of the T20 World Cup next month in the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
But many of their star players will now be free to play in the final stage of a profitable Indian Premier League, also host in the UAE, if their side reaches the knockout phase.
“You quote the tension of fatigue and mental and players who are frightened and fearful players and one and a half hours from here before the World Cup they are quite happy to be locked up in the bubble environment and continue with the tournament,” King added.
“Someone feels sad, one feels humiliated because the withdrawal has no answer.” Heather Knight recently spoke enthusiastically about the prospect of the captain of the British woman on their first visit to the country.
But on Tuesday he admitted the decision was taken from his hand.
“Conversations and communication between boards and PCA are strong, and it is a complicated situation with what happened to New Zealand,” said Knights after British women lost to New Zealand in one international day.
“Taking it out of our hands is probably the right thing to do.
It was done with the intention of trying and caring for the players.” Hopefully in the future we will be able to leave.
I think it’s important for them, especially in women’s cricket with what happens in the region.
