Will Indiaâs Cricket Tour follow the Junior Hockey Cancellation?
<b>Security fears Pakistan tour</b>
<b>BANGALORE : A day after security concerns forced the government to refuse clearance to the junior hockey teamâs tour of Pakistan, uncertainty
surrounds the Indian cricket teamâs visit, scheduled to start from January 6, next year.</b>
Although there was no official word on it, BCCI sources told TOI on Tuesday that safety of the players would be the main consideration in deciding the timing and venue of the series.
"The final call will be taken on the basis of the governmentâs assessment in December," a senior BCCI official said.
Pakistan has not played a single Test match for more than a year, with teams like Australia and West Indies pulling out due to security concerns.
