Pakistan may have not finished their recent home series against Sri Lanka on a high note but their security impressed ECB Chief and the cricketing fraternity.  Sri Lanka arrived in Pakistan to play three ODIs and as many T20Is despite the threats and it went off successfully even though ten Sri Lanka players refused to travel to Pakistan. Tom Harrison, chief executive of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has said that he was impressed with the security arrangements there in Pakistan.

“We had a real look at the incredible work that is going on in Lahore with the Safe City Project and the extraordinary reaction to past incidents that has been put in place here. And that’s been incredibly impressive,” Harrison said while talking to PCB podcast, Pakistan’s Business Recorder reported.

Tom Harrison recently went to Pakistan to look after the security provisions for a future tour by England to that country.
