Dear Sir,
My Name is Muhammad Kashif. I am residing in DUBAI from the last 2 years. Being a Pakistan it is my duty to initimate you about the risk and current country situation being faced. Due to present situation Cricket board has to change the decision for helding ASIC CUP 2008 in pakistan. India is forcing pakistan for helding this tournament in our contry. There is a high risk involved due to terrorist activities. I would suggest that this tournament should help in Srilanka or some other country.
Please convery my message to control authority and directory pakistan cricket board and other concerned person.
Thanks & regards,
(M.Kashif)
Due to current country situation this tournament shouldn't help in Pakistan. South Africa & Australia has already withdrawn for playing in Pakistan where as India is forcing to help the same in PAKISTAN. This tournament shoiuld help in Srilanka.
Best regards

Risk factor has to be considered while taking decision for ICC Chanpions trophy. There are high risks involved due to inconsistent security issues.
