Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Nov 12 told its players to remain in Pakistan or risk facing a “formal review” after members of the squad declared their intention to depart early from their tour of the country due to security concerns.

The players expressed fears for their safety following the Nov 11 suicide bombing in the Pakistani capital, which killed 12 and wounded 27 outside a court.

SLC issued a statement saying it had instructed the team to go ahead with their ongoing tour of Pakistan as scheduled, despite an unspecified number of players requesting to return home.

“If any player, players, or member of the support staff return despite SLC’s directives, a formal review will be conducted...and an appropriate decision will be made,” the board said.
