Safe for Australia to tour Pakistan?
Professor Clive Williams from Macquarie University's Centre for Policing, Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism doesn't think so.
PCB has already finalized the venues and refused to move the series to a neutral venues. What do you guys think? Should Australia tour Pakistan?
Professor Clive Williams from Macquarie University's Centre for Policing, Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism doesn't think so.
An Australian professor in intelligence and counter-terrorism believes Australia should not tour Pakistan next month. An Australian security check is scheduled for the country after the elections on February 18 and if it occurs a decision on whether it is safe for the team to make the Test and one-day trip will be made.
The professor Clive Williams, who is from Macquarie University's Centre for Policing, Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism, told the Sydney Morning Herald he would not go if he was in Australia's position. "It is a fairly volatile situation in Pakistan at the moment," Williams, a specialist in national security and Pakistan affairs, told the paper.
"It is not really clear where things will go. I don't think it would be advisable to go, it would be very dangerous. We have got troops in Afghanistan, and while Pakistan are cricket lovers, one way to create news and instability would be to target foreign visitors, especially given we have got an involvement in the war."
