Kane Williamson will not travel to Pakistan for the upcoming PSL despite being committed to playing in the league. The PSL confirms New Zealand's decision not to tour Pakistan amid security concerns

Pakistan is a country that is desperately trying to showcase itself as a safe destination for international cricket. After successful tours by both the West Indies and England, these developments will come as a blow.

The news is even more disappointing for Pakistan fans as Kane Williamson was slated to lead a depleted Lahore Qalandars side in this year's PSL.

The Kiwi skipper's decision not to travel to Pakistan is certainly a big blow for the PSL organizers. It is especially disappointing considering how excited Williamson was to play in the league last year. The PSL had even issued a statement confirming the news.

"Kane Williamson won't be travelling to Pakistan for the seventh edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 7) due to security concerns," the PSL statement read.

The development is a big loss for the Qalandars and PSL fans who were excited to see the veteran leader.

Last year, the talismanic hitter couldn't take part in the competition due to injuries. He had expressed his eagerness to make his PSL debut in 2022.

"Really excited about getting to Pakistan and being a part of the PSL for the first time," said Williamson last year.

The PSL 7 is slated to begin on February 27, with the final slated for March 18. Whether the tournament will be affected by Williamson's absence remains to be seen.
