Karachi, May 19 (PTI) The Pakistan Cricket Board is trying to put aside the global focus on Abbottabad where Al-qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed in a US assault, by scheduling a match of the Afghanistan team on May 29 in the sleepy town.
Until the May 2 assault in which Osama was killed in his sprawling compound complex, Abbottabad was just one of the many small holiday resorts in Pakistan.
The PCB decision to schedule the match in Abbottabad so soon after the Osama killing is already generating a debate on the political correctness of the decision.
But a PCB official explained the match between Pakistan A and Afghanistan was scheduled before the Osama incident.
