Australia waits...

Symonds is concerned about touring Pakistan


Australian officials are close to cancelling the test team's tour of Pakistan later this month after prolonged doubts have been raised due to the country's unstable political situation.

Cricket Australia is hopeful an announcement will be made within the next few days after several senior players including captain Ricky Ponting and all-rounder Andrew Symonds voiced their concerns.

Pakistan Cricket Board chief operating officer Shafqat Naghmi remains hopeful that the tour will go on as planned.

"We should know in one or two days' time," he said.

"The indications are Cricket Australia will decide after they have a board meeting."

"We would like to make a final decision soon as the tour is due to start on 29 March," he added.

Australia have already cut the tour back to two Tests and four one-dayers from the original three Tests, five one-dayers and one Twenty20 game amid security concerns since former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in December 2007.

Should the tour be cancelled, several leading Australian cricketers should be free to join the Indian Premier League which starts in April.
