Prime Minister Imran Khan personally called Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to guarantee the teams safety, but she stood by her teams decision, according to Ahmed and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).   The PCB said it had arranged "fool proof security" for the visiting team and New Zealand security officials had been satisfied with their arrangements.   "[C]ricket lovers in Pakistan and around the world will be disappointed by this last-minute withdrawal," the board said.   The chief executive of the Black Caps, David White, said he could not ignore the advice he was receiving.   "I understand this will be a blow for the PCB, who have been wonderful hosts, but player safety is paramount, and we believe this is the only responsible option," he said.   The two sides were to play three one-day matches in Rawalpindi, known as the twin city of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, followed by a series of five limited over matches or T-20s in Pakistans second-largest city, Lahore.
