Karachi:The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Saturday confirmed Sri Lanka Cricket has postponed the upcoming U19 cricket series and the training camp, which was in progress in Karachi, has also been called off.
The Pakistan U19 side was scheduled to travel to Colombo for two four-day and three one-day matches on Tuesday, April 30.
PCB Director International, Zakir Khan, said: “We have received confirmation from Sri Lanka Cricket, who has expressed their inability to host the Pakistan U19 cricket team as per the original schedule due to earlier this week’s tragic events.
“The two boards are now working on alternate options, including the possibility of a series prior to the Pakistan U19’s tour of South Africa in June. As soon as these details are confirmed, the PCB will make a formal announcement.”
In a series of unfortunate terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka, over 250 people lost their lives earlier this week. The Sri Lankan government has now been cracking down on terrorists’ hideouts.
