| Cricket will never be the same again after the Lahore ambush. Professional cricketers have large fan following, particularly in the Indian sub-continent where the game generates so much passion. Yet, we never thought that anybody could try to harm players. On Tuesday, all that changed when the Sri Lankan cricketers came under attack.
When I heard about the attack on television, it was shocking and the first thing that went through my mind was, God please don’t let any player or official be harmed.
We are fortunate that no player was seriously injured neither were the ICC match officials or else it would have been catastrophic for Pakistan and its cricket.
My mind initially refused to accept cricketers could be directly targeted because in the last few years playing in Pakistan has always been linked with security issues.
But I guess times have changed for the worse and I feel sorry for the Sri Lankans that they came here when no team was willing to tour Pakistan and this is how we treated them.
I spoke to a few on telephone and wished them well but the way they responded and behaved after the attack is exemplary, insisting it was not Pakistan's fault nor did they have any complaints with the people.
