KARACHI: A series of bomb blasts in the country notwithstanding, the Pakistan Cricket Board is hoping the International cricket Council (ICC) will not shift the Champions Trophy from Pakistan.
PCB Chairman Nasim Ashraf said in a statement that he was confident ICC will maintain its current position and let Pakistan hold the elite tournament in September.
"We are hopeful... Because cricket and sports has never been the target of terrorist attacks in Pakistan and players had always been safe in Pakistan," Ashraf said.
Ashraf's statement comes two days after the new Chief Executive of the ICC Haroon Lorgat made it clear the ICC would not compromise on the safety of players and officials, taking part in the tournament.
