Michael Vaughan Feels Pakistan-England Series Should Be Moved To UAE If It’s Deemed Unsafe To Travel

The former England skipper Michael Vaughan believes that moving Pakistan vs England series to United Arab Emirates (UAE) will be a ‘sensible’ decision rather than the cancellation of the tour if it’s not fully safe to travel to Pakistan.

Notably, Michael Vaughan’s statement on the matter came after the cancellation of the New Zealand Tour Of Pakistan. Team New Zealand’s first tour of Pakistan in 18 years which consisted of three ODIs and five T20 Internationals was cancelled due to security concerns.

The Blackcaps reached Pakistan and just before the game started, New Zealand Cricket released an official statement after the uncertain delay in the game informing about the cancellation. Notably, the tour was scheduled to begin on 17 September with a One Day International game at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
