Due to security concerns, Australia have confirmed that they will not be touring Pakistan and it is unlikely to be played this year. "We are very sorry that the tour could not take place at this time," said Creagh O'Connor, Cricket Australia's Chairman. Nasim Ashraf, the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board and O'Connor will meet in Dubai next week to decide upon the Match schedules of the Postponed Tour. "We are obviously very disappointed at this decision. I guess there is not much we could do and we sincerely hope that the tour of Australia to Pakistan can materialise at the earliest opportunity." said Ashraf.
The tour is expected to be Postponed to the year 2009 or 2010. Australia's decision not to tour Pakistan came after the news of a Severe Bomb Explosion in Lahore(Pakistan) that killed 15 People and injured many others.
