PCB seeks govt approval to submit terror report

8220;It was a judicial inquiry and we require permission from the government to dispatch the report to ICC,8221; he told AP.

A panel of Lahore High Court judges compiled the report after gunmen killed six policemen and a van driver in Lahore when they attacked a bus carrying Sri Lankan cricketers to a test match in March last year. Several Sri Lankan cricketers were injured in the attack.

Pakistan subsequently was dropped as co-host of the 2011 World Cup,and has been barred from hosting any international cricket since.

Limited-overs series against Australia and New Zealand were played in the United Arab Emirates last year and Pakistan also played its 8220;home8221; test series in New Zealand.

Pakistan played two test matches against Australia in England this month rather than hosting them in Pakistan.

Sarwar said the PCB is 8220;on the same page8221; with the ICC in looking for a way to revive international cricket in Pakistan.

8220;ICC is the supreme cricket body and together we are trying our best to see international teams returning to Pakistan in the near future,8221; he said.

ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat recently suggested the sending of a hand-picked side to play in Pakistan late next year depending on the advice of security experts.

Lorgat also expressed his willingness to accompany the team to Pakistan.

The ICC this month appointed former England captain Mike Brearley and ex-Australia captain Greg Chappell as ambassadors to encourage the cricket community to support the PCB while its is unable to host international matches.
