A security company has been employed by the International Cricket Council (ICC)  for a three-year period in their bid to resume the international cricket in Pakistan.

The newly-appointed Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi revealed that formation of the international security company is the first step towards the resumption of cricket in the country.

"It's a step by the ICC for the revival of international cricket in Pakistan. The company is based in three countries - the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates - and has a good repute," the Dawn quoted Najam, as saying.

"A representative of the Federation of International Cricketers (FICA) will accompany the security company to personally monitor the security situation in Lahore," he added.
