ECB apologizes for cancelling Pakistan tour

LAHORE (92 News) – The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has apologized for cancelling the Pakistan tour.

In a statement, ECB Chairman Ian Watmore said that the people in Pakistan were really upset with ECB’s decision to withdraw from the Pakistan tour. He said that the decision was taken by the cricket board and the players were not consulted about it.

"I'm very sorry to anyone who feels hurt or let down by our decision, particularly in Pakistan", he said. "The decision the board made was an extremely difficult one and the board made it with the primary consideration being the welfare and mental health of our players and staff," he added.

He also insisted England would commit to a full tour comprising three Tests and five one-day internationals next winter.
