Australia is set to tour Pakistan for first time in over 24 years in March 2022, but major question is wher tour will actually take place considering longstanding history of terrorism in Imran Khan-led nation.

Similarly, anor user stated how y do not doubt that Australia will cancel ir tour to Pakistan, which is 'not a stable nation.' y stated that 'it is impossible to play' unless re is 'tight security.' However, it is important to note that New Zealand cancelled ir tour despite PM Jacinda Ardern personally receiving assurances from Pakistan PM Imran Khan that 'tight security' would be present.

When New Zealand cancelled tour, Pakistan Cricket Board released a statement to explain how y me 'foolproof security arrangements for all visiting teams.' statement also mentioned that Imran Khan spoke to New Zealand's PM personally and gave her assurances that y h one of 'best intelligence systems in world and that no security threat of any kind exists for visiting team.' Pakistan's assurances certainly did not amount to much as England cancelled tour less than a month after New Zealand.

Meanwhile, anor fan hilariously asked Pakistan to organize a series with Taliban if y are interested in reviving cricket in country.
