The PCB hoped to host the T20I leg of the tour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;At the end of the day it came down to following the advisory and the security reports we had obtained,&quot; NZC chairman Greg Barclay told Newshub.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There&#39;s no doubt they (Pakistan Cricket Board) are disappointed. I think they saw a tour by a country like New Zealand as being a great precedent for them to start to build an international programme back in Pakistan. So they&#39;re disappointed but they&#39;re good guys, we get on really well with Pakistan, and I think they&#39;re fully accepting of the decision that we&#39;ve reached.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since the 2009 terror attack on the Sri Lanka team bus, Pakistan have made UAE their home.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In May 2015, Zimbabwe became the first team since the ghastly incident to go to Pakistan for a short limited-overs series, which was marred by a blast near the Gaddafi Stadium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Recently, a depleted West Indies squad toured Pakistan for three T20Is in as many days.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
