Pakistan's interior minister Thursday ruled out sending the national cricket team to India for the World Twenty20 until security assurances come from New Delhi, saying the threats from extremists are concerning.
The Pakistan team were due to fly out on Wednesday to play in the World Twenty20 cricket tournament but their departure was put on hold by the government.
 "Until and unless clear guarantees on security come from the Indian government, unfortunately we are not in a position to decide sending the team," Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan told the media.
