Sri Lanka turn down PCB's invitation of touring Pakistan
The Sri Lanka Cricket Board(SLC) has turned down the Pakistan Cricket Board(PCB)'s invitation of playing T20 matches in Pakistan. PCB's chairman Shaharyar Khan has confirmed the news. The chairman thinks last week's suicide bombing in Lahore might've prompted this decision from the SLC. Khan said,
"I had spoken to my Sri Lankan cricket counterpart during the ICC meetings and I had invited him to send his team to Lahore to play the T20 matches and start the series against Pakistan with rest of matches to be played in the UAE."
Khan didn't hide his disappointment with this refusal. He feels Pakistan is unjustly being isolated from international cricket. He said,

"I am a bit surprised at Sri Lankan’s refusal because terror attacks are happening everywhere in the world and sports events are still going on. It is unfair to just single out Pakistan for security reasons."
Khan also said that the proposed world XI's tour to Pakistan on September 12 is also uncertain after the suicide bombing incident in Lahore.
"I met Giles Clarke recently in London and we finalized the budget details and other aspects of the World eleven tour but since the attack took place we don’t know the situation. But we are confident that the tour will go ahead eventually,
” Khan added. Khan's tenure as PCB's chairman will come to an end on July 31. He said that he is happy that Pakistan won the Champions Trophy in his tenure, but is disappointed for not being able to resume international cricket in Pakistan.
"But not being able to resume international cricket in Pakistan and the deadlock with India over bilateral series remain a disappointment for me. Because Pakistan should not be isolated like this as an international venue,"
he said.
