Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has expressed deep gratitude to the Sri Lankan cricket team for their decision to continue their tour of Pakistan amid recent uncertainties.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Naqvi commended the Sri Lankan players and management for their sportsmanship, professionalism, and confidence in Pakistan’s security arrangements. He noted that their decision reflects the strong bond of friendship and mutual respect between the two cricket-loving nations.
“Grateful to the Sri Lankan team for their decision to continue the Pakistan tour,” Naqvi stated. “Their trust in Pakistan’s hospitality and commitment to the spirit of cricket means a lot to us.”
The ongoing tour holds special importance for Pakistan as it reinforces the country’s growing reputation as a safe and welcoming destination for international cricket. The PCB has worked closely with law enforcement agencies to ensure top-level security for visiting teams, helping restore global confidence in hosting major sporting events.
Fans across Pakistan have also lauded Sri Lanka’s decision, viewing it as a gesture of solidarity and support for the revival of cricket in the country.
With matches expected to continue as planned, both boards reaffirmed their dedication to promoting regional cooperation and sports diplomacy, strengthening cricketing ties across South Asia.
