 "'Massive setback for Pak cricket,' Twitter reacts to New Zealand's withdrawal from Pakistan tour over security concerns")
New Zealand on Friday cancelled a series of one-day cricket internationals against Pakistan over security concerns just minutes after the first match was due to start. “New Zealand Cricket informed us they had been alerted to some security alert and have unilaterally decided to postpone the series,” the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement. New Zealand Cricket also announced the cancellation in an official statement on its website. The Kiwis were due to play three one-day internationals followed by five Twenty20 matches — their first in Pakistan since 2003. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the story: Pakistan’s cricketers expressed their disappointment

NZ players flying home asap following security alert issued by their government. Massive setback for Pak cricket as this will certainly imperil future tours by other countries

Huge news this, about New Zealand pulling out of their tour of Pakistan and heading back home. Feel for cricket lovers in Pakistan but since this is because of a perceived security threat, it will impact other teams touring there too
