Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was shot in the leg in an assassination attempt earlier this month, with political unrest in the region growing
The historic first Test between England and Pakistan could be moved from Rawalpindi amid rising political tensions in the region.
England have not played Test cricket in Pakistan since 2005 due to security concerns, but successfully returned earlier this year for an enthralling seven-match T20I series ahead of the two countries meeting in the T20 World Cup final.
However, after former Prime Minister and World Cup-winning cricket captain Imran Khan survived an assassination attempt in the region earlier this month, political unrest has grown. Khan has asked his supporters to continue marching to the capital city Islamabad to demand a fresh general election after he lost a no confidence vote in parliament and was ousted as Prime Minister in April.
With the march set to culminate around the same time England’s squad will arrive and Rawalpindi not set to host any more Quaid-e-Azam trophy matches after a game between Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was abandoned as the public protests meant both teams were unable to travel to the ground, the first Test may be moved.
