While it is a good idea I personally don’t think the security situation in Pakistan is conducive enough for foreign teams to come. We don’t want a repeat of Sri Lanka episode, otherwise Pakistan cricket will go into wilderness for a long time. If everyone remembers the champion trophy was to be held in Pakistan in 2008 and was postponed due to security reason. How correct that decision was can be gauged form the fact that the day Marriott hotel was blown up by terrorists in Islamabad was the day England would have been playing in Rawalpindi and would probably been staying in that hotel. So much as I would like cricket to resume in Pakistan, not for the moment please.

Exactly my thoughts … i guess for the next 1-2 Years i see no change in Pakistan playing its "home matches"on foreign soil (UAE, England etc.) and this also prerequisites that the general security Situation in Pakistan gets better which is obviously not the case watching what happend in DG Khan yesterday

I can’t help myself but just mention what a good friend of mine said to me about this:
“People of this country have robbed us of what so dear to us, Pakistan it is, … so they’ve been robbed of what so dear to them, Cricket it is … we can’t live safely in Pakistan so too can’t Cricket”

I’m surely not the one for political point scoring but this has given me food for thought
