Citing the storming of the BCCI’s
headquarters in Mumbai by Shiv Sena
activists to protest against the
proposed India-Pakistan cricket series,
ICC President Zaheer Abbas on
Tuesday said he feared for Pakistan
players’ security during the World T20
to be held in India next year.
The much-anticipated talks between
BCCI President Shashank Manohar and
his Pakistan counterpart Shaharyar
Khan were cancelled on Monday after
the Shiv Sena protested against a
possible India-Pakistan series in the
UAE in December.
“Pakistan and India cricket authorities
must work it out, otherwise I fear the
Pakistan players could also refuse to
tour India for the upcoming World T20
Cup, citing security concerns,” former
Test captain Abbas told a news
channel.
“I don’t know what the environment
will be when the World T20 is held in
India but if this situation persists,
obviously there will be extra pressure
on our players,” he added.
The Twenty20 World Cup is scheduled
to be held in India in March-April.
