Ramiz Raja
Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja said on Tuesday he felt "used and then binned" after England cancelled a white-ball tour for their men's and women's teams next month.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) cited "increasing concerns about travelling to the region" just days after New Zealand also pulled out of a tour to Pakistan over security concerns. "It's the feeling of being used and then binned. That's the feeling I have right now," Raja told reporters.
"A little bit of hand-holding, a little bit of caring was needed after the New Zealand pull out and we didn't get that from England which is so frustrating," he added.
Meanwhile, New Zealand batsman Tom Latham on Tuesday admitted that his team missed out on a "historic moment" by cancelling the Pakistan tour but asserted that the decision was based on players' safety.
"It was a historic moment for New Zealand Cricket to be back there 18 years since they were last there. To be part of that was going to be something special, but obviously things changed," Latham told New Zealand's in-house media channel according to ESPNCricinfo.
