Zaheer Abbas, the ICC president, has said that he will try and convince other member countries to resume tours to Pakistan and is hopeful Sri Lanka will also tour the country.
"The time will come when our neighbors will come. I am hoping especially that Sri Lanka should come," Abbas said. "We've been very close to each other in every department. If a gesture comes from them I will be very happy.
"Openly I can't but by talking and trying to convince the ICC members maybe. Obviously everybody is there to listen to you. If I am speaking to them as a cricketer they will.
"You should not try to let cricket die in Pakistan, it will be of no use. Our job is to spread cricket all over the world. That's why we have new members and we always encourage them."
