Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore


The news coming out of Pakistan surrounding the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team is a devastating blow to sport and cricket in general.

It also though points to the continuing deterioration in security in the country.

Reports suggest that this was a well planned attack and will once again confirm the worst fears of cricket teams that Pakistan is not a safe place to play cricket any more.

The Sri Lankan team had filled a gap left at short notice after the Indian team pulld out following the Mumbai attacks and Australia have pulled out of previous tours.
