Pakistan team has been excluded from participating in the upcoming International School Cricket Premier League (ISCPL) to be held here from December 19 for security reasons.
"Becon House Lahore of Pakistan was willing to participate in the event starting from December 19 but due to ongoing border tensions it has been excluded citing security reasons," Convenor of ISCPL Vinita Kamran said today.
