Sri Lanka has recalled its cricket team from Pakistan. The current political situation in Pakistan is terrible.
Security Issue
The Situation in Pakistan is very bad at this time because political voices are coming out. The sit-in protest is going on, which is causing the law and order situation to be very bad. PCB announced that Sri Lanka has recalled their team, with the remaining matches still to be played.
Remain Matches
Sri Lanka have two matches left to play against Pakistan. The Sri Lankan team had security fears and concerns about the current situation in Pakistan, so the Sri Lankan team was willing to go back to their country.
PCB Announcement
The PCB informed that the Sri Lankan government has asked the Sri Lankan team to come back as there is currently unrest in Pakistan. Political parties have staged sit-ins etc. The Sri Lankan team was afraid that something like this might not happen. The security situation is very bad. And Sri Lanka is scared because the Sri Lankan team was attacked in Pakistan in 2009.
Remain Matches
The remaining 2 matches which are left will be won by giving these points to other countries. The match was supposed to be played in Pakistan, but seeing the situation here, it became impossible. Now PCB will decide. I don’t know where the matches are played, there is no match.
Pakistan Politics Effect on the Match
The current political situation in Pakistan is having a very profound impact on sports. Seeing the current political situation, the Sri Lankan government recalled its players, they were afraid because in 2009 when the Sri Lankan team was playing a match in Pakistan, they were attacked. The Champions Trophy matches are starting, this time Pakistan was supposed to host but the Indian team was not ready to come to Pakistan. But nowadays, the situation in the country of Pakistan is much worse in the last two or three days. Now that India has come to Pakistan, many people come to watch India’s matches, which are sponsored and broadcast. PCB which gets good revenue if this match is not held in Pakistan then PCB may suffer financial loss.
