Multan - The fifth one-day international
between Pakistan and South Africa scheduled for Karachi on
Monday has been switched to Lahore because of security fears,
the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Wednesday.
Shafqat Naghmi, the PCB's chief executive, said the touring
South Africans did not want to play in Karachi following last
week's bomb attacks on former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's
convoy that killed 139 people.
"They didn't want to play in Karachi because they had
concerns over the security situation following the bomb blast
there last week," Naghmi told Reuters.
