Pakistan hasn't hosted an ICC tournament since the 1996 World Cup due to security concerns. Cricket teams didn't travel to Pakistan from 2009 to 2019 after the attack on the Sri Lankan team near Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Teams like Australia and England have toured after cricket returned to Pakistan.
Speaking to Geo News, Mushtaq Mohammad stated that Pakistan has been a great host. He also pointed out that Pakistan has never objected to touring India, yet India continues to make excuses to avoid playing in Pakistan.
"We have proven in the past that we are excellent hosts who always look after the visiting teams in the best possible manner. Pakistan always go to India without raising any objections but when it’s time for Indians to visit Pakistan they always make lame excuses to not come to Pakistan," he added.
