The Pakistan team was set to leave for Colombo on April 30, and the first game was slated for May 3 in Galle. Now the tour has been postponed indefinitely.
"The tour has been postponed indefinitely. It was a decision taken by SLC, as we didn't want to take any chances," ESPN Cricinfo quoted SLC official as saying.
Pakistan Under-19 were scheduled to play two four-day games and three one-day matches on the tour, in Galle and Hambantota.The squad led by Rohail Nazir has been training at a conditioning camp in Karachi over the last five days.
The team's next assignment is a tour of South Africa in June-July, as part of their build-up to next year's Under-19 World Cup, also in South Africa. At the previous edition in New Zealand, Pakistan were one of the losing semi-finalists.(UNI)
