All the efforts went in vain as West Indies Cricket Board declined the proposal of playing Pakistan in Pakistan last day. After the West Indies women team declined to play in Pakistan due to security reason, the WICB called off the proposal of the PCB. They told the Reuters that all the former and current players have shown enough concern about the security measures in Pakistan. The continuous bomb blasts and unsafe condition prevailing in the country now. They feel that by making the valuable players to go to Pakistan will make their unsafe.
Before that Pakistan board have already contracted with the one of the grounds in Dubai which is called the best ground in terms of facilities for $300 million dollars for 3 years. It shows that they were concerned about their home conditions. They went on to the contractor previously once when their home condition was not good or full of ill-happenings, in 1992. After lots of teams are denying the tour of Pakistan, the revenue of the PCB is reducing year by year. They were already in condition where they could not have afforded much loss. But this massacre condition of the country has forced them to watch for the lower level teams to ask for playing in the home ground. But when average teams like West Indies have declined the offer, they have broken down.
Meanwhile, West Indies Board feel that they it is not possible for them to put the players in danger. They are also short of good players. But if some misfortune favors the team, then their team will go further down in the international ranking. Â
