Zimbabwe Cricket Team Leaves For Pakistan Tour As ICC Declines To Send Umpires

The Zimbabwean cricket team is already on it’s way to Pakistan for a series against Pakistan despite security concerns.

Zimbabwe becomes the first country to tour Pakistan for test series since 2009 after the Pakistan cricket bus was attacked leaving six policemen dead and some of the teammates injured. Zimbabwe had been said to have cancelled its tour but retracted its statement.

There will be two twenty20 and three one-day internationals from the 21st -31st of May. The boys took to social media and it was clear they were nervous ahead of the trip. Even the former Captain Brendan Taylor wished them a safe trip.

ICC however is not on board to send umpires to officiate the series because of the concerns they have about the level of security in the country. They issued a statement saying the Pakistan Cricket Board to use local officials instead.

We wish the boys all the best with the series and most importantly a safe return back home.
