Revival of Cricket in Pakistan


Kenya Tour of Pakistan

Kenya cricket team has landed in Lahore this wednesday in much tight security of police
A series of 5 one day matches will be played between Pakistan and Kenya , This is going to happen after a very long time that any team is about to play in Pakistan ground and PCB is taking it much serious to show that Pakistan is right place as others to play cricket .






On the other side Coach of kenya cricket team said


 "For us we were looking to play and get match practice," 

He said , "Forget all the side issues, politics and whatever is being said. If you are a cricketer you just play cricket and we are here to play it and nothing else. We landed here this morning and until now they have looked after us very well, to say the least. So I think other countries should also come and play cricket. If you want to move world cricket forward this is what should be happening."



Pakistan had been a no go area for cricketers for many years because during a test match in Lahore on 3rd March Sri Lanka Cricket team was attacked while going to stadium in which 8 people were died and some players were injured till that day no international team came to Pakistan for Cricket.


Matches will be played in NCA ground which is near the Gaddafi Stadium , there are many Restaurants and shops around that area but during the stay of Kenya team all shops and Restaurants will remain closed because of security.


Kenya Team is much satisfied about the security , 

Kenya Coach said , "It's an honour and privilege for us to be in Pakistan," Tikolo said. "I feel Pakistan has done a great favour by hosting us. We have a tournament coming up in January, a world qualifier league in Namibia and this series is a part our preparation.

"I believe the games we are going to play in the next 10 days are going to give my boys much practice and experience going into the tournament. So on behalf of Kenya Cricket, we are grateful to Pakistan and I hope this relationship goes further and becomes stronger."
