Pakistan issue Champions Trophy threat

Pakistan will not participate in the Champions Trophy if the tournament is moved to another country the Pakistan Cricket Board have stated.
The eight-team competition is scheduled to be held in Pakistan from September 12 to 28 but Australia, England, South Africa and New Zealand have all expressed reservations about competing due to security concerns.
The International Cricket Council reviewed and approved security arrangements in Pakistan last week and official delegations met with players from the four countries in an attempt to address the situation.
However, their fears will not have been eased after a suicide bomber killed 23 people in a hospital in Peshawar on Tuesday, just a day after Pervez Musharraf stood down as Pakistan president.
But if the ICC decide to stage the Champions Trophy elsewhere - Sri Lanka has been touted as a possible destination - the PCB insist Pakistan will not be taking part.
"The Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan and there are no chances of shifting the event from Pakistan to any other country," acting PCB chairman Nasim Ashraf was quoted as saying in the Dawn.
"If the ICC shifts the Champions Trophy to any other venue, Pakistan will pull out from the event."

PayPal wants report from Sri Lanka: Sampath, three other banks to introduce service

Though the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) was first to introduce PayPal to Sri Lanka through the Sampath Bank, it is revealed that three other banks too have been now earmarked by the CBSL. A senior official from the CBSL told AdaderanaBiz, “We were to first introduce PayPal through the Sampath Bank. However, we now plan to introduce this service to the country through four banks. We also plan to gradually involve the rest of the banks in the country.” While the CBSL is discussing with the PayPal branch in India to introduce the service to Sri Lanka, PayPal’s Indian arm has reportedly requested a report on Sri Lanka’s exports. The senior CBSL official told AdaderanaBiz that they would be submitting such a report and hence the introduction of PayPal to Sri Lanka would face a slight delay. Though cash cannot be remitted to Sri Lanka through the world renowned PayPal money transfer service sending money from Sri Lanka is possible even now.
