Christian Turner, the British High Commissioner to Pakistan, took to Twitter on Monday to express his disappointment with the England Cricket Board’s (ECB) decision to cancel the series against Pakistan following New Zealand’s last-minute withdrawal from the tour due to a “security threat.”
The UK envoy said on Twitter, “So sad that ECB cricket has decided not to come to Flag of Pakistan next month.” My gratitude goes to PCB and everyone who worked so hard to get us to this point.”
“Understand the disappointment that all cricket fans will feel; looking forward to the full England tour in autumn 2022,” he tweeted.
