Recently, the New Zealand team reached Pakistan to play a limited-overs series. This decision was taken a few hours before the first ODI match was played. Today, the first match of the ODI series between the two teams was to be played in Rawalpindi.
The official Twitter handle of PCB tweeted "Earlier today, the New Zealand cricket board informed us that they had been alerted to some security alert and have unilaterally decided to postpone the series.PCB and Govt of Pakistan made fool proof security arrangements for all visiting teams.
"
"We have assured the NZ cricket board of the same. The Prime Minister spoke personally to the Prime Minister of New Zealand and informed her that we have one of the best Intelligence systems in the world and that no security threat of any kind exists for the visiting team."
"The security officials with the NZ team have been satisfied with security arrangements made by the Govt of Pakistan throughout their stay here."
"PCB is willing to continue the scheduled matches. However, cricket lovers in Pakistan and around the world will be disappointed by this last minute withdrawal."

Terrorism is a major national and international problem all over the world. It's high time now, Pakistan needs to accept the reality and stop supporting terrorism. Pakistan must ensure that its soil isn’t used to spread terror activities.
