Tour to Pakistan : 8 years later

Sri Lanka 'keen' to visit Pakistan for T20s in September

Pakistan could be on the verge of hosting their highest-profile international visitor

in the last eight years

with Sri Lanka considering a visit for a T20 in September-October

This would, in itself, represent an extraordinary gesture by SLC

given its own side had been the target of the 2009 terror attack

that stopped international cricket being played in Pakistan.

"I am keen to take my team to Pakistan

I call upon each one of you as members to play your role and give Pakistan

the security of your support. There is always risk - there were two attacks in London

during the Champions Trophy - but cricket continued under the security

assurances of the ICC, so likewise we too must be as accommodating and

understanding as possible with our members and

extend our fullest support to them as the cricketing family of Asia "

SLC president Thilanga Sumathipala .

sorry Thilanga,  India seh this is Partition month

and Pakistan ain't no family 


thanks for being a cousin, though !

after all that Pak attack was in support of Tamil vs Sinhalese

Hindu versus Buddhist war in Sri Lanka !

Thilan Samaraweera, who was shot in the thigh during the attack

has spoken about the trauma the incident had inflicted upon him and his family.

Other former players have also spoken of it as being one of the darkest days

of their lives..

Sumathipala optimism is also indication that a deal has been reached.

With both boards and various governments keen for the match to be played

in Lahore, player protestations - if there are any -

may not be enough to halt that political will !

Absolutely INSANE!!!  Like jumping back into the shark tank you just escaped from!
