Threat to New Zealand cricketers came from India, says Pakistan

New Zealand scrapped its tour of Pakistan hours before the start of the opening match last Friday.

Pakistan has accused an unnamed individual in India of sending threatening emails that caused New Zealand to abandon its cricket tour of the country just hours before the start of the opening match.

New Zealand scrapped its plans last Friday, citing a specific security threat to its cricket team without sharing the details of the threat.

New Zealand’s withdrawal dealt a massive blow to Pakistan’s hopes of staging regular international cricket, with England subsequently calling off its tours as well.
