Karachi: Pakistani cricketers Kamran Akmal and Sohail Tanvir fear the Mumbai terror attack may end up making the entire South Asian region a pariah in international cricket.
Both players returned home early on Saturday morning from Mumbai via Bahrain insisting they were relieved to be back home after spending some terrifying moments in Mumbai.
"If things continue like this I don't see many teams being willing to come and play in our region. There is an acute need to face this problem jointly by the affected countries," Tanvir told reporters at the airport.
"What happened is very sad and needs to be condemned. But the incident also shows that Pakistan is not the only country in this region facing problems from terrorism," he added.
Tanvir said Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka were all affected by terrorism and they needed to have a common strategy to deal with it or else cricket activities would be badly affected in the region.
