Coach Law praises Pakistan security

-

West Indies coach Stuart Law has praised Pakistan’s security arrangemen­ts during his team’s time in Karachi, saying he hoped their experience would open the door for more cricket series to be held in the country.

The West Indies completed a three- match Twenty20 series late on Tuesday and although his team was whitewashe­d by world No. 1 Pakistan 3- 0, Law was happy with their treatment by authoritie­s.

“It’s a bit daunting for the people outside but once you get here and see for yourself, you feel more confident,” he said during the post- match press conference. “The security has been outstandin­g, and we haven’t had any problems.”

Pakistan’s military put stringent security arrangemen­ts in place with 8,000 policemen and military personnel guarding the team hotel and stadium for the series.

“I’m not saying that it will open the floodgates and bring everyone rushing back, but fromwhat I’ve seen here, it’s more than adequate and we should be able to get cricket back to Pakistan,” said Law.

Pakistan is on a long road to revive internatio­nal cricket following six years of isolation from2009 to 2015.
