Sri Lankan players attacked in Pakistan-Lahore
The Sri Lankan team had reached Pakistan for South AsiaΓÇÖs most beloved game, when a dozen men with rifles, grenades and rocket launchers attacked them. This attack wounded several players and killed five police officers.
The incident took place at a traffic circle close to the main sports stadium in the eastern city of Lahore. There was a 15-minute gun battle between the attackers and the police guarding the vehicles.
 None of the attackers were killed nor any motive or identity of them is known. A Sri Lankan foreign ministry said the two players-Thilan Samaraweera and Tharanga Paranavitana were hospitalized. He said three more players were slightly injured and that the head coach, Australian Trevor Bayliss, also sustained minor injuries.
TV footage showed gunmen with backpacks, probably the attackers firing at the convoy as they retreated from the scene, with several damaged vehicles and a lone exploded grenade lying on the ground.
The match was called off and the team flew back home. The attack will surely mean the end of international cricket in Pakistan for months, if not years. Even before, most teams refused to tour the country because of security concerns. It will also have implications on the gameΓÇÖs future in South AsiaΓÇÖs, its most lucrative market.
