England cricketers arrive for first Pakistan tour since 2005
cricket squad touched down in Karachi on Thursday on their first tour of Pakistan in 17 years -- a lengthy absence brought about by security fears. England last played in Pakistan in 2005 and were due to visit last year until pulling out at short notice after New Zealand also cancelled a tour citing safety concerns. The move infuriated the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), desperate to rehabilitate its security reputation, who called it "disrespectful".
