P.D, the overall situation has improved and it is conspicuous from the fact that no major terror strikes have happened in Pakistan in the last six months time.Major cities like Lahore and Karachi(barring sectarian violence in a few parts of the city) excluding Peshawar have not witnessed any major terror attacks in the recent past.I think Pakistan is committing a big mistake by not declaring itself ready for a host status.

There seems to be a better co-ordination between various security and intelligence wings after the strike at Mehran base .It’s been almost a year(precisely 10 months)since the attack and by and large Pakistan has remained peaceful barring incidents in K.P …

This is the high time that the Government of Pakistan and the P.C.B declared Pakistan a safe place to conduct matches.

I do not agree with someone’s here view that only ODI’s can be considered and not test matches.What does the difference it make?Pakistan should declare that it is ready to host all the formats of the game.

well I truly hope you are rite..we all want the best for pak…and i was just afraid that god-forbidden if something bad happens this time , international cricket will not return to Pak for next 5 years… and to that extent, wanted to gauge the ground realities based on guppies’ comments, which overwhelmingly suggested that Pak is not ready for international cricket…

my own sense is that we shd wait and i also strongly believe (can’t stress more) that pak team will also be a target..we shd give our cricketers same safety protocol what we are offering to international teams…
