Minutes after the blasts, Cricket Australia (CA) conveyed its decision to its Pakistani counterpart and the boards later said in a joint statement that new dates for the tour would be decided soon.
"The Chairmen of the two boards will meet in Dubai next weekend to further discuss possible dates for the deferred tour," the statement said.
"The ICC Future Tours Program is complex and changes require extensive consultation with other member boards with whom Australia and Pakistan have existing commitments. This process will be undertaken over coming weeks," it added.
Commenting on the decision, CA Chairman Creagh O'Connor said, "We are very sorry that the tour could not take place at this time. This was a difficult decision based on independent review of the circumstances prevailing in Pakistan at the moment.
"We wish no loss to Pakistan Cricket Board and look forward to undertaking this tour in the near future," he said.
His Pakistani counterpart Nasim Ashraf said, "We are obviously very disappointed at this decision.
"I guess there is not much we could do and sincerely hope that the tour of Australia to Pakistan can materialise at the earliest opportunity," the PCB chief said.
it is ridiculous to note some people together with the media screaming from the roof tops and asking for the resignation of IHF chief over the hockey debacle. why did nobody asked for the resgnation of BCCI board when India made an exit from the last world cup suffering a humiliating defeat from bangladesh. The fact of the matter is that it is we the people and the media who are mainly responsible for the current plight of our hockey and are looking for scapegoat to pass on the buck.We are pampering our crickters only making them heroes and sewmigods,ignoring our hockeyplayers absolutely who play our national game.we are the people who are used to cry over the split milk but never take any timely action to avoid this situation in advance.
