Had no choice but to leave Pakistan: NZC Chief
Pakistan Cricket fans were shattered by the abrupt withdrawal of Kiwis.
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) Chief Executive David White has said that after receiving the "specific, credible threat" we had no choice but to leave Pakistan.
Mr White said that NZC and the BLACKCAPS had been very much looking forward to the Pakistan series but were faced with no option but to abandon the tour after receiving, on Friday, advice from the New Zealand government of a specific, credible threat.
Pakistan Cricket fans were shattered by the abrupt withdrawal of Kiwis.
The new statement released by New Zealand Cricket says, "while the general tenor of the threat was immediately shared with the PCB, specific details could not, and will not, be disclosed – privately or publicly."
The NZC, however, was grateful to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for arranging the safe departure of the team.
