Pakistan rules out playing in Dharamsala

[kosingh]

The threshold level of security that is acceptable for international cricket to be played has certainly be raised. A level of security that was deemed sufficient yesterday is no longer considered sufficient today. The consequences of the newly raised bar will greatest for Pakistan- a country that has been hoping, without success, to host top class international cricket, but has been unable to do so due to its lack of security.

If Pakistan failed to meet yesterday's relatively  easier security standards, what happens now that the security bar has been raised higher post Dharmashala?

Pakistan can say goodbye to hosting anyone except the minnows for the next 50 years.

Excellent point.

PCB digging it's own grave (regarding ambition to host games in Pakistan). 

They will have to be content at hosting like of Antelopes from Zimbabwe and the excitable Tigers from Bangla.
