KARACHI: The New Zealand cricket team has called off its tour of Pakistan, minutes before the first match was due to begin in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi, following an unspecified security alert issued by the New Zealand government.
The BlackCaps were due to take on Pakistan Friday evening in its first match on Pakistani soil for 18 years in the first of three ODIs in Rawalpindi, before moving to Lahore for a five match T20 series.
