Sri Lanka Tour Pakistan



First of all I strongly condemned this act of terror and feeling sad because Pakistan's status as an international sporting venue has come under doubt in other words spoiled our reputation after masked terrorists attacked the team bus carrying Sri Lanka's cricketers to the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore on Friday morning. Five cricketers received minor injuries in the attack which killed six Pakistani security men and two Pakistani civilians.

This is the first time that a cricket team has been seriously targeted... Pakistan's image will be hit and only time will tell how much damage has been done to Pakistan cricket. The World Cup too might be affected... no country would want to come now to Pakistan... I am worried where Pakistan will get a chance to play, not only in Pakistan but outside as well. This is all so sad."

David Morgan, the president of the ICC, described Pakistan as "a very dangerous place" at present. Speaking about the World Cup, he said: "Things will have to change dramatically in Pakistan in my opinion if any of the games are to be staged there."I think that international cricket in Pakistan is out of the question until there is a very significant change.
Describing the injuries, Sangakkara said on T.V that shrapnel wound in his leg, but he is fine. Tharanga had shrapnel in his chest, but thank God it wasn't very deep and just on the surface, “I had shrapnel injuries in my shoulder, but they have all been removed and I'm okay now. Ajantha Mendis had shrapnel in his neck and scalp, but he too has had medical attention and is fine. Everyone else is perfectly all right.", the reserve umpire Ahsan Raza was also injured in the attack.

The Sri Lankan team only stepped in after the Indian government had barred the Indian team from touring Pakistan after the terror attack in Mumbai.

This news broke out a few hours ago and got the social media enthusiasts active over the web along with the news media.Websites were flooded with news of the attack starting with news channels streaming a live video about the news to the blogging,
But one very important thing I want to add on that nobody leave any sympathy note to those Pakistan security Personnel who lose there lives in saving our Guests Srilankan cricket Team
