Cricket Australia cancels Pakistan tour

LAHORE: Australia have cancelled their cricket tour to Pakistan over security fears, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said Tuesday.

"I can confirm they have conveyed to us that they have cancelled the tour. We are disappointed and we are issuing a policy statement soon," PCB chief operating officer Shafqat Nagmi said.

The announcement came shortly after two blasts killed at least 20 people in the eastern city of Lahore, one of the venues where Australia would have played.

Australian players had expressed reservations over the security situation in Pakistan following a spate of suicide bombings.

In 2002 also a series that was scheduled for Pakistan was shifted to Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates.
