Painful to see no international cricket in Pakistan: Richards

Rediff.com6 Feb 2016

West Indian batting great Vivian Richards says he is pained to see international cricket teams not touring Pakistan since the last seven years. Richards is working as mentor of the Quetta Gladiators team in the Pakistan Super League, which kicked off amid much fanfare in Dubai on Thursday. "It is painful to see no international cricket being played in Pakistan since 2009. I have been to Pakistan several times and always found it to be a country of passionate cricket fans and lovers," Richards told the media in Dubai. "It is unfortunate that security circumstances are keeping teams away from Pakistan because it is a leading cricket nation and destination," he said. He said it was nothing less than a tragedy that the security situation had left the Pakistan cricket board in a position where it can't force any team to play in Pakistan.
