"When we go from the ground to the hotel, it's as safe as any other country. It's the only (cricket-playing) country I hadn't been to, but now I can say I've played cricket in Pakistan.

"It is great. The hospitality, the support from the crowds at the ground. It's nice to be here," he added.

The former Kiwi all-rounder expected more international teams to travel to Pakistan if proper security arrangements are kept in place.

"If security plans stay as good as this, other teams will also come here. Hopefully, Pakistan will play Test cricket at home again. It will be good for the children to see their heroes play," he hoped.
