Sports minister wants Pakistan Cricket Board to raise issue of player security


By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (CP) – 1 hour

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan's sports minister has asked the country's cricket board to raise the issue of player security with Australian and international cricket authorities after a Pakistani player was attacked by a fan during a one-day international at Perth last Sunday.
"I have asked the Pakistan Cricket Board officials to raise this serious security breach with both Australian cricketing authorities and the ICC," Ijaz Jhakrani told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Pakistan player Khalid Latif escaped serious injury when a spectator ran onto the field at the WACA Ground and attacked him from behind.
Australia won the match by two wickets and clinched the one-day series 5-0.
