Firdose Moonda provides a long piece giving some insight on the aftermath of the Skydome T20 event for CricInfo.
Kat Rose’s financial troubles came to a head in the week leading up to the match. The PCB refused to release its star players for the event. “We heard on the Tuesday before the match that the players may not come but, through Cricket Canada, we engaged in further negotiation. We even spoke to the Pakistani consulate in Canada. Up until Thursday we were hopeful that they would be there,” Choga said. “When the players pulled out, we were in a very difficult position. We had a totally different concept to what was advertised. We had to refund tickets and investors pulled out. We had a choice of either cancelling the match or continuing.” Choga said he asked the players who had made it to Toronto whether they wanted to go ahead with the game but was upfront with them about the circumstances under which they would be playing.
