LAHORE, March 3: Sri Lanka’s cricket team flew out of Pakistan on a specially chartered Airbus 320, cutting short their tour after a deadly attack on Tuesday, Pakistan’s coach said.

The chartered plane arrived from Colombo at around 9.30pm and left 40 minutes later.

Pakistan Cricket Board officials, Pakistan captain Younis Khan, coach Intikhab Alam, former skipper Shoaib Malik and batsman Misbah-ul-Haq saw the team off at the airport.

“They have now returned home,” Mr Alam said. “We came to see them off as a goodwill gesture.”—AFP
