Probably New Zealand managements are too concerned about security after the government change over in Afghanistan and due to the support from Pakistan. I guess in recent times, South Africa and Sri Lanka toured Pakistan without any major security concerns but we cannot expect the same from England or Australia or New Zealand teams as they value security of their team the most. I guess after the Taliban government in Afghanistan both Pakistan and Afghanistan cricket may see some downfall due to participation of women in cricket. This way, cancellation of New Zealand tour to Pakistan might be a beginning point in this regard.
We all know that New Zealand's management team is very cautious about their players. They care about their players' safety and security very much. They are not going to tour Pakistan if they don't feel safe for sure. The political issue here is really important which concerns the New Zealanders. And there is also the issue of Coronavirus. New Zealand did tour Bangladesh and other countries but they are really unsure of the Pakistan tour. Thus this tour might just be canceled.
I understand that they are very cautious but why enter the country and then just before the toss cancel the match and the tournament. This is the reason everyone is questioning the intel input that they had received. They are now in Pakistan and if the terrorist wants to attack them they still can do it now. Pakistans reputation again has been tarnished and the amount of revenue loss for PCB is big. Next year Pakistan will be hosting the Asia cup. Now what happens to that is a big question?
would love to see that being continued, or at least we need to make another discussion thread to ensure that this doesn't get spammed with only IPL discussion. If he isn't available do you guys want me to make a thread or maybe you bryant.coleman can create one or let's just continue posting in this old thread as I don't see it's locked :
