Karachi, Sept 15 (IBNS): New Zealand’s Grant Elliott, who is currently in Pakistan to play the T20 series for World XI, said he found security in the Asian nation as “amazing”.

He said Pakistan is  “safe for international cricket”.

“My experience here has been great so far. The security is amazing. All of us [players] feel secure,” he told Geo News.

“When we go from the ground to the hotel, it’s as safe as any other country,”Grannt said.

The cricketer even appreciated the hospitality he received in Pakistan.

“It is great. The hospitality, the support from the crowds at the ground. It’s nice to be here," he said.

Grant even conveyed his feelings that he is hopeful that Pakistan will soon be able to play Test cricket on its home soil.

“If security plans stay as good as this, other teams will also come here. Hopefully, Pakistan will play Test cricket at home again. It will be good for the children to see their heroes play,” said the former New Zealand all-rounder.
