No international cricket has been played in Pakistan,

since terrorist attack on Sri Lankan team bus in March 2009, killing eight Pakistanis and wounding seven visiting players. Minnows Bangladesh twice called off tours last year over security fears and the head of the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA) has warned players not to take part in the inaugural Twenty20 tournament in March. The PCB claimed last week that around 50 overseas players had signed for the two-week league due to start from March 26. "A lot of top players are willing to take part in the league but some boards have reservations which we are trying to remove," said Ashraf.
