The UAE squad have pulled out of their tour of Sri Lanka following this week's attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore.
The side had been scheduled to meet several leading club sides as warm-up games ahead of next month's ICC World Cup Qualifiers in South Africa.
However, the squad contains several Pakistani nationals and there was concern they could face reprisals as a result of the incident in Lahore and the Emirates Cricket Board decided to cancel the trip which was due to start today.
