RAWALPINDI: The Chief Executive of New Zealand Cricket (NZC), David White confirmed that they canceled Pakistan’s tour after security threats received by their government.
In a statement, White said he understands how tough it is for Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) but they had no option other than canceling the tour.

New Zealand Cricket Players Association chief executive Heath Mills echoed White’s sentiments.
“We’ve been across this process throughout and are fully supportive of the decision. The players are in good hands; they’re safe – and everyone’s acting in their best interests,” he mentioned.
