"I have always wanted big games to be played in Karachi and people have also complained about this lack of cricket"
"There is a lot of terrorism in the world and soft-targets like football matches are a problem"
"We had planned to hold one game in the three matches series with the Intl XI in Karachi"
"The ICC told us that we have given security clearance to Lahore due to reports by our security advisors, but Karachi has not been cleared in this aspect"
"Since Karachi does not have a security clearance, do not hold a game in that city"
"This is why we are forced to arrange the World XI matches in Lahore only"
"Our aim is to have half of the PSL games that are to be held in Pakistan to be held in Karachi"
"We have one issue which is that the stadium here (NSK) is in bad shape; we are happy to invest in this stadium so that its roof doesnt collapse"
"We are hoping that work will start soon on repairs as that goes hand in hand with the security clearance which will also happen later"
"The next step to the BCCI issue is that we will send another letter but this time it will be via the ICC"
"They have been a lot of statements from the BCCI but no formal response"
"No one has been damaged financially more than us due to the Big 3"
"It is not true that we are afraid of playing any country because it may adversely effect our rating (ODI)"
"Granted that BD dont want to play in Pakistan due to security reasons but the benefit of the home series should come to us"
"The Mohammad Nawaz issue has only come to light now, we did not know about this in the past"
"From what I can gather from the media, Mohammad Nawaz told us about (approach) but didnt do it immediately"
"Any one who did not report approach will be called for explanation and if they cannot explain this to our satisfaction, then action will be taken against them"
"Amir's case was different as ICC and ECB took action"
"We have asked our interior ministry to make such fixing to be an illegal offence"
"We allowed Amir to play because he could have taken us to court, stating that the ICC and ECB had allowed him to play and we werent allowing that"
