In 2011, when Hillary Clinton was the US Secretary of State, she had said one thing for Pakistan. She had said that by keeping a snake in your house, you cannot expect that it will bite only your neighbours. This snake can also bite those who are rearing it. The same happened with Pakistan today.

New Zealand has cancelled the cricket series which was to start between New Zealand and Pakistan in Rawalpindi, Pakistan from today.

The cricket team of New Zealand had reached Pakistan for the tour 6 days ago. Both the teams were to play a cricket series. And the first match of this series was to start today at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium at 2.30 pm. According to the schedule, the Pakistan team reached the ground on time and tight security arrangements were made inside the stadium.

But even after waiting for a long time, the New Zealand team did not come to play the match and during this time, it came to the fore that New Zealand has withdrawn its cricket team due to security reasons. There could not have been a greater international disgrace to Pakistan than this.

New Zealand's security agencies had received the news that there could be a suicide attack on Rawalpindi's cricket ground in the first ODI to be held today, due to which this decision was taken.

Nothing could be more embarrassing for Pakistan than this that despite a former cricketer holding the post of Prime Minister, a country's team had to return before playing a cricket series. To avoid this embarrassment, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan also called the Prime Minister of New Zealand and assured her that there would be no terrorist attack during this series, but despite this, New Zealand did not change its decision.

It is not that New Zealand was not afraid to send its cricket team to Pakistan. Before this tour, New Zealand had sent its security team to Pakistan for a survey. This team had to tell whether it would be right to send the New Zealand cricket team to Pakistan or not. And only when this team gave the green signal, the cricket team was sent on a tour of Pakistan. There are also reports that during this time the Taliban also threatened to attack New Zealand during this series.

Pakistan could not play any series on its soil due to terrorism, so it organised all the tours in UAE. When Imran Khan became the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the people of Pakistan expected that everything would change, but that did not happen. Pakistan is setting a new world record in terms of international humiliation.
