Recently crowned World Twenty20 champions, the West Indies, have turned down a request from Pakistan to play matches in the militancy-wracked South Asian country due to security fears. Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan today said it wanted the Twenty20s to be played in Pakistan and made an effort, but the West Indies Cricket Board have refused saying they have security fears. Now the full series will be played in the United Arab Emirates.Pakistan are due to host the West Indies in two Tests, five one-day and two Twenty20 internationals in September and October this year. Nearly all the country's home series have been played in the neutral grounds of the UAE since a 2009 militant attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team.
