At that time is better to put aside differences for the sake of peace and unity. Its a big challenge to bring back full fledged series but step by step is a best approach in this situation. Next step should be holding cricket in venues other than Lahore and Karachi such as Peshawar, Multan, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Hyderabad and Sheikhupura. Hope so home town (Swabi) of Younis Khan and Fakhar Zaman sees international cricketing action.</p> </div> <div class=""> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment"> <!-- <span title="Recommend this comment"> --> <span class="button__label votejs__cast" data-vote-key="1388765/up-5708955">Recommend</span> <span class="button__count votejs__count" data-vote-key="1388765/up-5708955">0</span> <!-- </span> --> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <!-- .comment --> <div class="comment pb-4 mb-4 border--bottom" id="5709077" data-id="13"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-11"> <div class="comment__author float-left">Boss</div> <div class="timeago comment__date" title="2018-02-12T13:12:37+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2018-02-12T13:12:37+05:00">Feb 12, 2018 01:12pm</span></div> <div class="comment__body mt-2 size-four clearfix"><p>If only we did not have ONE enemy, we didn't have the need to do ALL of this!</p> </div> <div class=""> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment"> <!-- <span title="Recommend this comment"> --> <span class="button__label votejs__cast" data-vote-key="1388765/up-5709077">Recommend</span> <span class="button__count votejs__count" data-vote-key="1388765/up-5709077">0</span> <!-- </span> --> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <!-- .comment --> <div class="comment pb-4 mb-4 border--bottom" id="5709107" data-id="14"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-11"> <div class="comment__author float-left">Nisar</div> <div class="timeago comment__date" title="2018-02-12T13:26:12+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2018-02-12T13:26:12+05:00">Feb 12, 2018 01:26pm</span></div> <div class="comment__body mt-2 size-four clearfix"><p>We will NEVER have any true sport flourish unless everyday security is addressed. The costs that we have to bear, the aggravation to the common man and the deployment of 8000 men and machines for one event so that a few can look good. Let us be clear we need sport to rise from the grassroots - put this money into local clubs and arenas and let us have a more robust domestic game. Use the UAE as our home ground till we find a lasting and practical solution to international teams visiting.
