No chance of international cricket returning to Pakistan soon

The possibility of international cricket returning to Pakistan anytime soon has been ruled out by the International Cricket Council's chief executive Haroon Lorgat.

Lorgat says until teams had the confidence to visit Pakistan and were satisfied with the security environment it wouldn't be possible to resume play there.

Lorgat's, who's currently in Karachi, is the first ICC official to visit Pakistan since the attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore last year, which killed six policemen and wounded five players and officials.
