Islamabad: The Pakistan government on Thursday declined to send the national men's and women's teams for the World Twenty20 until the Indian government publicly guarantees "foolproof security" for Pakistani players and fans during the tournament.

"The ICC and the BCCI have been very accommodating, but it is the Indian government's security assurance that matters the most. Thus far, there has been no such indication from them," Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar told the media here on Thursday.
