Although, it is quite clear that the ECB cancelled the tour after being influenced by New Zealand.\u00a0The board also feels that the tour is not the right preparation for the T20 World Cup. The World Cup will begin in Oman and UAE from October 14.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A statement issued by the England Cricket Board said, <strong>&#8220;The mental health of our players and support staff will always be a top priority for us. And in the current circumstances it becomes even more important. We know there are a lot of concerns about going to this area and we feel that if we go on this tour, there will be more pressure on the team. They are under a lot of pressure by living in an already controlled corona environment.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&#8220;We understand that this decision must have brought a lot of disappointment to the PCB,&#8221; the ECB said. The PCB is working tirelessly on the return of international cricket to its country. He has supported the England and Wales Cricket Board in the last two seasons, which is a great proof of friendship. We sincerely apologise for its impact on Pakistan and insist on the commitment of our main tour of 2022.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ECB held a weekend meeting and decided to withdraw from the women&#8217;s and men&#8217;s team&#8217;s October tour of Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was only after New Zealand cancelled their tour for security reasons that the tour of England was also questioned. In a meeting held this weekend, the ECB decided that the teams would not visit Pakistan. The board has taken this decision giving priority to the physical and mental health of the players and support staff. The environment of corona and bio-bubble is adversely affecting the health of the players.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4304\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4304\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pakistan-Fans-disappointed-after-England-cancel-tour-to-Pakistan.jpg\" alt=\"Pakistan Fans disappointed after England cancel tour to Pakistan\" width=\"800\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pakistan-Fans-disappointed-after-England-cancel-tour-to-Pakistan.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pakistan-Fans-disappointed-after-England-cancel-tour-to-Pakistan-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pakistan-Fans-disappointed-after-England-cancel-tour-to-Pakistan-768x488.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pakistan-Fans-disappointed-after-England-cancel-tour-to-Pakistan-696x442.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pakistan-Fans-disappointed-after-England-cancel-tour-to-Pakistan-661x420.jpg 661w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4304\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pakistan Fans disappointed after England cancel tour to Pakistan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)\u00a0newly appointed Chairman <strong>Rameez Raja<\/strong>\u00a0expressed disappointment over decision.
