ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry is holding an important press conference on New Zealand’s withdrawal from the ODI series.
Flanked by Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed, the information minister spoke about the stringent security measures in place for the visiting New Zealand squad.
“We deployed a security team on the cricket squad larger than New Zealand’s army,” said Sheikh Rasheed.
Chaudhry said the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) informed the PCB and Pakistani authorities on September 17 that the team has received information of a security threat from its government.
