Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has instructed its players to “continue with the tour as scheduled” after some squad members wished to leave Pakistan mid-tour and return home, citing concerns over their security following the suicide bombing in Islamabad.

SLC also threatened players of the men’s national team and support staff with “a formal review” if any player returns home despite its directive.

The two teams are currently involved in a three-match ODI series in Pakistan’s Rawalpindi and recently concluded the first game on Tuesday, where the hosts won by six runs. After the bilateral series, Sri Lanka is also scheduled to take part in a Tri-series, involving hosts Pakistan and Zimbabwe, starting on November 19.
