Pakistan is safe for cricket tours - Jayasuriya
Former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya believes Pakistan is safe enough to host international cricket again.
He arrived in the southern port city of Karachi on Thursday to lead an International World XI in two exhibition Twenty20 matches against a Pakistan All Stars side this weekend.
The matches are organised by provincial sports minister Dr. Mohammad Ali Shah in hope of sending positive signals to the cricketing world.
No test-playing team has toured Pakistan since the deadly attack on the Sri Lanka team convoy in 2009 in Lahore.
Jayasuriya, who wasn't in the team at the time of the attack, says "In my opinion Pakistan is a safe country."
