Former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding said Tuesday that England's decision to cancel its short tours to Pakistan amounted to "Western arrogance".
England's men's and women's white ball teams were due to tour this month but the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) pulled out of both because of concerns over "mental and physical well-being".
"The ECB statement doesn't wash with me. No substance," said Holding, who played 60 Tests and 102 one-day internationals in his glittering career.
"Nobody wants to come forward and face up to anything because they know what they did was wrong.

"So they put out a statement and hid behind a statement. It just reminds me of the rubbish they did with Black Lives Matter.
"I won't go back into that because I've said enough about that. But what that signal sends to me, is the same Western arrogance.
"I will treat you how I feel like treating you, it doesn't matter what you think, I'll just do what I want."
