Pakistan Deploys Military to Secure Sri Lankan Cricket Team After Islamabad Blasts

The Pakistan government has handed over security for the visiting Sri Lankan cricket team to the country's military and paramilitary forces. The move came after several Sri Lankan players expressed concerns and wished to return home following recent deadly bomb blasts in Islamabad. The tour will continue after Pakistan's Army Chief, Asim Munir, personally assured the Sri Lankan Defence Minister of the team's safety, preventing a potential abandonment similar to New Zealand's tour in 2021.
