At least 30 people were killed and 56 wounded in a huge blast at a Shia mosque in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, a hospital official said on Friday.

Will this incident have an effect on Australia's ongoing tour of Pakistan?
 
Should not. Australia is getting presidential level security, like all teams since 2015.

An incident here or there should not affect the tour.
 
Makes you wonder why these incidents happen soon as foreign tams visit Pakistan. Who is behind this one?
 
I hope not but the desperate terrorism exporter in Pakistan and terrorism sponsored states are trying to get louder.

If it were to happen in the city Australia are playing and will play then anything is possible.

It is a political thread, particularly a geo-political thread, so will also like to highlight, this is the another perfect example of how Pakistan is surrounded by enemies.
 
Indians on Twitter, IG and FB are mass messaging the ICC, Cricket Australia and the Australian players to abandon the series.

Let's see how the PCB and the Pakistani govt handles this.

Highlight a significant point which people of Pakistan won't see it - India is a the aggressor in South Asia when the masses is brain washed to teeth - Pakistan has to be really careful how Pakistan respond to it.
 
Inalillahay wa Inna elayhey Rajeyoon.

We all knew this was coming.

This tour is not worth the lost lives.

We all know India is behind it.

Had Australia not visited, we would have had peaceful situation.
 
PCB has done everything possible to make the tour happen. You can't blame these isolated incidents on them.
 
I really hope we can get over our desperation of wanting friendlier ties with India. It is clearly evident that India does not want Pakistan to have a return of cricket and it is prepared to kill hundreds in the process.

I think it is a shame and downright embarrassing that we want anything to do with a hostile country like this.
 
Horrendous and desperately sad atrocity.

Also noticed some idiots from next door celebrating on twitter that it will lead to Australia leaving. I cannot relate to this mentality at all. Just don't understand or comprehend it.

This is exactly my feeling too, but first sincerest condolences to the people who lost their lives today. So much pain and misery, our nation just can't catch a break it seems.

Ina lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon
 
Surely the PCB and the Pakistani govt would have discussed scenarios like this with Cricket Australia while briefing them on the security arrangements for the tour.

pretty stupid comment... Pakistan cannot have lights on after 10PM.. as india doesnt like it ... so if we keep dark after 10, we save lives..

there is no 2 points that this was a barbaric thing and the culprits on both sides of the borders should pay

but one cannot stop doing what is good for the country just bcz a barbaric animilistic pathatic mindset exists in our neighbourhood

cannot call them humans bcz no human can do it... these r beasts and dogs of hell
 
Peshwar is like 100s of kilometres from Rawalpindi?

Why should it affect this tour?

This is reassuring. I bet they would have. Hopefully this is the last one.
 
Australia’s interim head coach Andrew McDonald:

"Our thoughts are with the victims of the Peshawar blast; For us, we will be guided by our security team, and we are in good hands and have been since the day we landed so we will be guided by those people who are experts in their field; Our job is to play cricket and if anything was to change, we will be able to talk to them about that"
 
If the PSL was offering million dollar paydays, foreign players will think twice before upsetting equations.

PCB desperately need to improve the cricketing economy and the PSL payouts to ensure gora western players do not abandon Pakistan
 
The sad thing is it was definitely done due to Pak-Aus series. And the innocent people who lost their lives had nothing to do with any of it. They weren't even close to where the cricket was being played.

More than anything, I would want innocent people to stop losing their lives. Cricket here is secondary.
Quick and Stern action should be taken against TTP and whoever is responsible for it.
 
Instead of having these matches Pakistan should send troops and eliminate these terrorists. It seems like killings of shias don't matter.

This is important - no panic as such at the moment, the team is totally focussed.
 
An event like this will surely have an impact, but hopefully not enough to cancel the tour. Also, the event happened in another city.
 
Since game is not in Peshawar, I don't think there is any reason for panic.

Also, they are getting good security.

There has been 80 thousands Pakistani who lost their lives in terrorists activities since 9/11. Majority of them were Sunnis. We DO NOT look at these martyrs as Sunnis or Shias, they were all PAKISTANIS. Stop spreading hate, the terrorists want exactly this.
 
Cricket Australia monitoring tour situation after deadly suicide bombing in Pakistan

Rawalpindi: Cricket Australia is monitoring a terrorist suicide bomb attack that killed more than 30 worshippers on Friday in Peshawar, a city just two hours from where Australia and Pakistan are playing the first cricket Test between the two nations in the country in 24 years.

A bomb was detonated in the northern city of Peshawar, with local reports saying around 50 people were injured in the blast. It is the same city where Mark Taylor scored his famous unbeaten 334 in 1998.

Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan, the former international cricketer, has condemned the blast.

The Australian team is staying in Islamabad for this week’s first Test in Rawalpindi and been given presidential-style security for the duration of the tour. The squad does not travel to Peshawar on the tour, with upcoming games in Karachi and Lahore.

Team officials are monitoring the situation and in contact with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade but there is no suggestion the attack will have any major ramifications for the series, Australia’s first in Pakistan since 1998.

This is the sixth Test Pakistan has hosted since 2019, after international cricket in Pakistan ceased for a decade following an attack on the Sri Lanka team bus in 2009, which came under gunfire while it was being driven to a Test in Lahore.

Local reports say 150 people were inside the Kucha Risaldar mosque in Peshawar during Friday prayers.

Peshawar police chief Muhammed Ejaz Khan reportedly said the violence started when attackers opened fire on police in close proximity to the mosque.

A man then ran inside the mosque and detonated a bomb.

CA and Pakistan Cricket Board have worked tirelessly to make this series become a reality and will be doing everything possible to ensure this latest attack does not derail such a historic series.

Australia shouls trust their own intelligence group just like nz did. If there is a threat than they should go back like nz did..

The timing of the attack shows the motive.... Our intellgience agencie is a big failiure and cant even protect locals.

The problem with such attacks is that locals are at risk not foreing players.
 
Such attacks have negative impact on players mental health and thus affect their performance. Playing cricket is least of your worries when you know there is a risk to your life and security agencies are UpTo no good.

This Peshawar incident is a failure of security agencies and army. There is no 02 ways about it. This is state responsibility to ensure health and safety of citizens.

Such failures results in low confidence and thus the foreign teams tour cancellation. It happened with Peshawar. Previously it was Quetta. These are province capitals for God sake. These are major cities of Pakistan. There should be better security in such cities. Not failures.

It's better to have cricket late in country than never. We don't want another srilankan incident. May Allah help us. ameen

This is something overseas pakistanis would never understand. They think a blast or terririst attack shouldnt affect anything and they are experts while inllegience agencies like 5 eyes are mocked. Even after being proven todat that a suucide attack ib match day in the country was possible
 
Most certainly suspect RAW agents to have played a part in this.

You should be ashamed of yourself for this post.

There's presidential level and multiple layer security for all tours since 2015. Its impossible for TTP or BLA terrorists to breach those.

Locals are not at risk as well due to extensive security and curbs .

You are a fool to think western agencies which failed to even detect Mullah Umar living for years near NATO HQ and majority of Afghan Taliban leaders within Afghanistan, will have better intelligence from afar over Pakistani agencies for ground realities in Pakistan

Of course the State is responsible but for a second think about it, the security agency can't provide fool proof security to its citizen, it is just not possible, particularly in a country like Pakistan and Pakistan can't stop the normal way of living because few terrorist and and their sponsored want to stop the Pakistan way of living.

uncle ji will be acting like a phuphu of Pakistan to full fil their agenda out of sheer boredom

This is my most objective take on how CA should approach this:

1. Peshawar has never been considered a safe city even within Pakistan. Perhaps not as unsafe as FATA or Balochistan but definitely not safe overall.
2. Most western states have a Do Not Travel advisory for Peshawar and/or the KPK province. They have better travel advisories for Punjab and Sindh, where all the games are being held.
3. Sindh and Punjab are far more safe. Yes, terrorist attacks do happen there occasionally, but they are quite rare and very low intensity.
4. The security being provided is extreme and breaching it is not possible for these ragtag groups.

What a foolish post. Firstly RIP to the victims and hope this doesn’t impact cricket.

Going back to your post shows your small time thinking.

Let’s for a second agree India was behind this but this wasn’t an attack done by Indian army. Some radical scumbag tied a bomb to his waist and killed innocent people. Do you know how radicalized one has to be do something like that ?

Do you think any pauper on the street would blow himself up for even a million $ if RAW pays him.

First of all my thoughts and condolences with the bereaved famiies and friends of the victims. They should be our primary concern rather than the cricket.

I think CA will monitor the situation but given what we have seen from New Zealand and England I do not think it will be possible for the tour to continue given that this has happened. It will have a big mental impact on the players who will be thinking about their safety and well being. I do believe Australia have come in good faith and respect them for doing so, and I would understand if they players felt they could not continue after this incident.
 
I hope not.. If it is so then say goodbye to the idea of teams like England, Aus, NZ, SA ever touring Pakistan again..
 
May Allah grant Jannat to the victims and sabre to their loved ones.

Our enemies cant stomach any team touring PK. Look at the threats that come from Ind whenever Amy White team is about to come.
 
Today is very bad day.
Om Shanti...Sad day for humanity.
Prayers for those who lost their loved ones..
 
Another piece of appalling news.

I'm afraid this remainder of this Test will be played in a very sombre atmosphere.

Well said. Couldn't agree more.
 
Australia should go back.

There is no point in blaming our favorite bogeyman (India) or XYZ.

This is a failure of our intelligence which doesn’t seem to have any intelligence.

This was expected and they weren’t prepared for it, so Australia is justified to question the competence of our security forces and intelligence.

Surrounding them with commandos and tanks is great but do they have the capacity to deter an orchestrated attack?

Maybe yes, but there is no reason for Australia to have faith in them when our security system cannot even protect its own citizens.

I hope Australia leaves. We fully deserve this humiliation. We do not deserve to host international teams.
 
No coincidence.

A bomb blast to this degree in Pakistan targeting Shia's hasn't happened for many years IIRC.

and now it happens ON THE DAY Australia start their tour of Pakistan, obvious stuff really.
 
56 people died this has to be one of the worst suicide attacks in Pakistan. Don't know whether this blast would have any effect on the Australia tour or not but this ensures that Peshawar won't be able to host any matches international/PSL for at least the next 5 years.

Second that ...

Our agencies are big failure and then try to hide behind 'India ki Saazish' drama.. Anyone not provided VIP treatment is always at risk
Now some fake propaganda will be started by some of our amateur politicos ; some might say, he got letter from pigeon that India was planning, other might say he got a phone call from India

Why not we cleanse our rot first??
 
My fear is : Just one slightest of incident and we say bye bye to international cricket fo another 10 years

If there is even a smaller risk, better to postpone the matches or conduct without crowds
 
I think everytime Teams like England New Zealand Australia Proteas will tour Pakistan, this threat will always be there.

I have always advocated policy mixing Test matches in UAE/Pak.

For example 2 Test matches can happen in UAE and 1 in Pak. Same venue can have 2 ODI’s and rest in UAE.

Having complete tour of Test matches ODI And T20 takes 30+ days and it is a greater risk as a lot can happen in that period.

Splitting series between UAE/Pakistan will have 2 benefits.

It will be less costly as vip presidential level security is very expensive. Foreign teams would not mind playing 1 Test in Pakistan in comparison to playing full series and risk of any mishap will be less.

Just like psl used to be divided between UAE and Pakistan. That formula is better.

Nope. Foreign teams need to be conditioned that regardless of isolated terrorist, law and order episodes directed towards others, when the Govt of Pakistan provides them with Presidential Level Security, they will be safe to play Cricket and come to Pakistan. That is what needs to be drilled down and understood. Life has to go on.
 
Abandonment of tour will be a huge public embarrassment for pakistan.

If CA is not comfortable then Karachi/Lahore test should be shifted to UAE. Atleast series needs to be completed.

Even 2002 Test series was played in 2 countries ( Sri lanka: UAE) i think in that series in one test pakistan were bowled out for 50 odd twice.

The issue i have is that while australians have security, the fans and us people who live here do not.

If the series get cancelled it would be a better situation for us pakistans. Atleast than the govt is forced to takr action against terrorism that threatens us locals more than any foreigner. But our lives dont matter...

If australia continues to play the govt isnt going to do anything about terrorism in the country. We locals willl keep on suffering.
 
#major
I am giving you guarantee insha Allah
Tour will go ahead and series will get done without any interruptions.
I feel sad for peshawar people
And i hope who ever did this will get punished.
And do remember my words.
 
Our political system is worst, they go to any extent to just tarnish image of someone who is in power or in opposition. They do all the madness because they always have this excuse of blaming on external forces/ India/ Afganistan or USA or whoever

It's extremely frustrating as a cricket fan.

CA will make decisions based on how they see this entire situation. CA did not make the call to play in Pakistan lightly. CA won't take the call to cancel lightly as well.

I have no issue with NZ going back due to security perception. I do have an issue with England using mental fatigue nonsense to call the tour off.
 
At the end of the day, it is us locals who are dieing from suicide bombing. It is our children, mothers, fathers and siblings who die.

The govt and the establishment have for years failed to curtail this problem.

Our forcus shouldnt be to provide security to australia, our focus needs to be making the country internally secure for each and every pakistani..

When pakistan is safe for locals than it would automatically be safe for foreigners.

Having presidential security for australians cricketers why we locals and our local cricketers dont get suxh security just shows the difference of treatment that is given.

In 13 years since the sri lankan team attack, one would think the govts and establishment would had delt with these terrorist. Instead we had aps attack and more attacks taking place.

Meanwhile our interior ministers like rehman malik live their lives and pass away on their time wothout making the nation secure for us locals. Imran and sheikh rasheed will also do the same.

Pakistani lives are only protected when foreign teams boycott us and we are forced to take action. Imf is a great example of this.

Didn't these terrorist attacks become a lot less in recent years? I was under impression that the security situation has improved in Pakistan.

I personally don't think it will get better at a level where Pakistan will look like a normal country in near future due to various reasons. I don't want to get into discussion or details about it.

The question of being safe enough has to be answered by visiting cricket boards. As long as they feel it's safe enough they can continue playing in Pakistan.

Peshawar has been as safe as any other city in Pakistan for the late 5-6 years, but it is now a high-risk zone again thanks to our state supporting a terrorist regime in Afghanistan. You reap what you sow.

I suspect that Peshawar will return to the 2008-2014 days when it was one of the most dangerous cities in the world and we the residents of Peshawar would fear for our lives whenever we would go to a public place.
 
Obviously done to coincide with the Australian cricket team's tour of Pakistan.

I sincerely hope that the tour isn't affected as PCB has done so much to ensure the tour goes ahead.

But at the end of the day it wouldn't be a total surprise if CA and their government said it wasn't worth the risk to stay in Pakistan.

It has nothing to do with Peshawar being safe or not.

It was a deliberate attack done due to Australia being in Pakistan.

Foreigners deem country safe based on the implementation of law and order.

Nz had that one off mosque attack, but that did not make nz an unsafe place as law and order was still intact. The person responsible was caught and had to go to court. And after which as expect the govt bought in dofferent measures and made strong statements...

In pakistan, law and order is a failiure. Due to the poor law and order, we give presidential security to teams.

We allowed terrorist attacks to take place till 2014, when children belonging to the arm forces died thats when we woke up and decided to take action.

Now again, we got involved in the afghan crises, trying to establish good relations with the taliban govt. At the same time we are trying to do negotiations with ttp because China is forcing us. We even let ehsanullah ehsan to go scott free, the spoksperson of the ttp that was involved in killing aps children.

These acts show that law and order is still an issue in the country.

Pakistanis were bashing 5 eyes six months ago that these guys got scared due to some hoax email, we ended up boasting about how our inteligence agency is the greatest of all and they would had known if ajything of sort was to happen. 6 months later, just on the day of australia test, we have a bb blast in peshawar.
 
Australia are provided head of state security, that is God level security even good enough for a total warzone. They should enjoy their cricket and time here.

Peshawar is far away and like another world compared to the main cities.

The damage has already been done and it's beyond cricket and this Aussie trip.

Nothing can bring back those lost innocent lives.

We already knew this was gonna happen and I have continuous spoken against this trip.

We are a third world country in economic crisis - we simply don't have the resources to provide presidential level security on every inch of Pakistani land.

It was stupid to take such a great risk and brown our nose to invite high profile teams back in Pakistan.

You are saying that there isnt enough resources to keep the citizens of Pakistan safe yet we want to hring foreingers here and pay for their security and expensive hotelling

Even if we do that, we would be spending 100 and millions - the investment has no return.
And now that you have lost all these innocent lives, you wonder, if it's worth the money? Not in my opinion.

We knew that we could NOT secure the entire country (not just the cricket team), for this sad incident to happen - we should've NEVER taken the risk. It's wise to know the ground fact and bravely face harsh realities.

Foreigners deem country safe based on the implementation of law and order.

Nz had that one off mosque attack, but that did not make nz an unsafe place as law and order was still intact. The person responsible was caught and had to go to court. And after which as expect the govt bought in dofferent measures and made strong statements...

In pakistan, law and order is a failiure. Due to the poor law and order, we give presidential security to teams.

We allowed terrorist attacks to take place till 2014, when children belonging to the arm forces died thats when we woke up and decided to take action.

Now again, we got involved in the afghan crises, trying to establish good relations with the taliban govt. At the same time we are trying to do negotiations with ttp because China is forcing us. We even let ehsanullah ehsan to go scott free, the spoksperson of the ttp that was involved in killing aps children.

These acts show that law and order is still an issue in the country.

Pakistanis were bashing 5 eyes six months ago that these guys got scared due to some hoax email, we ended up boasting about how our inteligence agency is the greatest of all and they would had known if ajything of sort was to happen. 6 months later, just on the day of australia test, we have a bb blast in peshawar.

Yes, I am aware of Pakistan, Taliban, and Afghanistan's situation. That's why I don't expect the situation to become normal in near future, but has the situation become unsafe in a big way after Taliban overthrew the Afghanistani Government?
