A little light reading from the international friendlies that took place a few days ago

But the PCB has done its best to keep this weekend's matches at arm's length, terming them ‘unofficial’ and insisting it bears no responsibility for security, fearful that any breach would set back the rehabilitation process. Indeed, since the Bangladesh humiliation, the PCB has been very reluctant to say anything about its efforts to persuade overseas sides to visit, leading many to wonder if they are making any efforts at all in this direction. Mani criticised the PCB for its apparent lack of a clear strategy. "I don't think they have gone about reviving cricket in a normal way," he said. "It seems they are making efforts on an ad-hoc basis and not getting involved in these matches in a big way. It is disappointing." PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf said luring international teams back to Pakistan was not easy, but insisted the board was taking measures to restore confidence. "We have planned to build a huge stadium (in Islamabad) along with a hotel within the premises that will allow surveillance with heavy security and teams will be carried from the airport to the stadium with the help of helicopters," he said.
