Press Conference Fedral Interior Minister 

Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said that despite assurances of security from Prime Minister Imran Khan, New Zealand unilaterally canceled the visit to Pakistan and the visit was terminated under a conspiracy.

 Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said that this morning the New Zealand security officials informed our security officials about the cancellation of the tour even though foolproof security arrangements were made for the security of the New Zealand team.  The army, SSG and infantry were present at his security, 4,000 policemen were present.

"We also tried to persuade him to play the match without spectators, but when he did not agree, our country's officials spoke to the prime minister in Tajikistan," he said.

Sheikh Rashid said that at a time when Pakistan is playing a key role in the world, Pakistan is currently the biggest advocate of peace and tranquility in the world and has a cohesive, strong and comprehensive anti-terrorism body.  The visit ended in a conspiracy.

 "It's up to them to decide now. Our National Management Crisis Cell and NEP have done a lot of work. They've tried to convince them, but the New Zealand government has done it on its own."  Decided to cancel the visit.

 In response to a question, he said that it is a conspiracy of anyone but I do not think it is appropriate to name, we are a responsible country and we want cricket to be played in this country because there are a large number of cricket fans here and  The Prime Minister himself has won the World Cup, but gloved hands have conspired to undermine our efforts for peace in the region and our identity.

The New Zealand cricket team had canceled the tour of Pakistan a few hours before the start of the match due to security concerns, but now the reason for ending the tour has come to light.

According to the World News Agency, a report published in the prestigious Auckland-based newspaper "New Zealand Herald" has revealed that the decision to terminate the Pakistan cricket team on the spot was taken by "Five Eyes".  Was based on intelligence.

 The newspaper claimed that the five-nation intelligence alliance, Five Eyes, had issued an alert that there could be an attack on the New Zealand team outside the stadium.  In New Zealand, the "Five Eyes" report is considered credible and reliable.

Pakistan Cricket Board suffers huge financial loss due to cancellation of New Zealand tour

The decision to cancel New Zealand's tour due to security concerns before the start of the three-match ODI series in Rawalpindi will cost the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) millions.

 According to the Dawn newspaper, a PCB official told Dawn on condition of anonymity that "apart from the security losses, this is a blow to the efforts of the PCB, the government and the security agencies in Pakistan."  They were trying to restore cricket completely.

 After three ODIs between Pakistan and New Zealand, five T20 Internationals were to be played in Lahore.

The official said that raising the issue against New Zealand cricket in the International Cricket Council would not be of any use.

 "The ICC has never done anything in these matters. In addition, the Indian lobby is strong in the ICC, which will not make it easy for the PCB to win a compensation case against New Zealand," the official said.  '

 It may be recalled that New Zealand was visiting Pakistan for the first time since 2003 and after canceling the tour, the England Cricket Board had also announced that it would make a final decision on its October tour of Pakistan in the next few days.  ۔

 England's men's and women's teams are coming to Pakistan next month for a short two-match T20 series.
