LAHORE: Forty Sri Lankan players have expressed concerns about playing a Twenty20 International (T20I) match in Pakistan in October. The players sent a signed letter to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) in which they expressed hesitation about playing a T20I match in Pakistan and asked for the venue to be changed. Despite the fact that Pakistan has already hosted the final of Pakistan Super League (PSL) and the Independence Cup in Lahore this year, many international players are hesitant when it comes to playing in Pakistan. The greatest blow to cricket in Pakistan came when, in 2008, the Sri Lankan cricket team’s bus was attacked near Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Thisera Parera, who played the Independence Cup in Pakistan as part of the World XI team, did not sign the letter. Reportedly, SLC will continue talking to the players and will try to convince them to play in Pakistan. If no agreement is reached, there is a possibility that it might send a team of young players to Pakistan.
