Bangladesh refuse to play Tests in Pakistan [PCB to meet BCB in Dubai - Update Post#175]

Looks like T20I it is for now. It is not what PCB was looking for but it is what it is. Drama is finally over.

One good thing is the fact BCB didn't outright cancel the Test tour. They want to play it later.
 
If i was PCB i wouldnt trust the BCB at all, this nonsense about rescheduling tests and that will happen will be more excuses later.

PCB cant go through this crap everytime a team is meant to tour.
 
Unconfirmed reports that Bangladesh are now willing to play one test match?

Honestly, this back & forth with every team convincing them to play before every series is demeaning for the whole country. PCB should firmly tell ICC to form a blanket policy regarding playing in Pakistan.
 
I’m trying to reach out To Trump through my senator and will ask him to stop messing up in middle East , BD will not play test match in Pakistan otherwise . Hope Trump will reach out to BCB boss to apologize him .
 
Bangladesis don't like test cricket based on what I have observed :). They generally try to avoid this format, PCB should just play the T20s as part of preparation for this year's T20 WC. Since the schedule is pretty light for both countries this year the tests can be rescheduled.
 
If PCB acts professional they will technically avoid any bilateral series from now on. Once foreign teams start travelling Pakistan we will play test matches with bigger teams except India.
No point to beg AFG and BD due to their anti Pakistan political stance due to their present government.
But unfortunately PCB will persist to play with BD due to our lack of strong stance.
 
Bangladesh Cricket Board on Sunday stuck to their earlier stance of just wanting to play Twenty20s in Pakistan, dismissing their Pakistani counterparts’ proposal of playing the Test series in the neighbouring country.

BCB president Nazmul Hasan announced their decision to the press after a meeting of the Board of Directors in Mirpur.

Nazmul cited the recent tension in the Middle East between Iran and the USA as the main reason behind not wanting to stay in Pakistan for an extended period as the government had given the board permission to tour the country only for a short period.

‘The current state in the Middle East is definitely different than other times. So considering escalating tension in that particular region, they [the government] have told us to keep the tour as short as possible,’ Nazmul said.

‘They are saying to play the three Twenty20s as quickly as possible in a short period. Later, if the situation improves, we can play the Test matches. So this is what we have received and we are going to communicate the same thing to Pakistan Cricket Board,’ he added.

The BCB had earlier made a similar proposition of just wanting to play Twenty20s in Pakistan, but the PCB refused their offer.

Nazmul said that the situation has now changed and this time they are only following the government’s decision, unlike previously, when they themselves had come up with the proposition of playing only Twenty20s.

Nazmul also clarified that that they were not against the return of cricket in Pakistan and cited a number of reasons for wanting to play only Twenty20s in the country.

‘We are not against cricket in Pakistan, we want cricket to be held in all countries and we want to support them. If we had opposed it we would said that we won’t even play Twenty20s.

‘T20 and Test are different. If you see one by one, firstly, for three T20s we have stay 120 overs in the field, for one Test in five days 450 overs, so lot of difference, so security wise T20 is a better option.

‘Number two you have to see another thing. We are not going there for many years, so all of sudden when we go naturally there remains a fear. From that perspective, after going once and coming back confidence will rise. I think they should understand,’ he said.

Nazmul revealed that he had discussed the matter with PCB chief Ehsan Mani at least three times, dismissing the threat of Pakistan to take BCB to ICC.

Nazmul will be flying to Dubai today to inform the International Cricket Council Chairman Shashank Manohar about the possible implication of skipping the Test series against Pakistan.

The BCB president was also confident that if Pakistan agreed to host Bangladesh for three Twenty20s all players would make the trip. He said Mushfiqur Rahim was the only player to express his reluctance but according him it was not a complete denial.

In the BCB meeting, the board also decided to raise the match fees for Test matches by 50 per cent from current Tk 4 lakh. Nazmul said they board also agreed to offer national players a separate contract for Test and limited overs but no list was approved in the meeting.

Then they will find different excuses or even bring 1971 issues
 
I think BCB is looking for a dignified exit from this mess. At this point if tests are forced upon them it will look really bad on them. Scheduling tests later is a middle ground and none of the parties will look bad. PCB should understand this and go ahead with this proposal.
 
Remember folks 176 people died on that plane which could've been easily avoided if flights were halted. I know tragedy can happen anywhere but still.

BCB offered to tour 3 T20Is and reschedule of test series. This is what SRL also did. How come there was no out cry then?
 
Play in UAE and end this drama once and for all. You have played in UAE for so many years, one more series shouldn't hurt anything bar a few egos. Likes of Babar and Shaheen deserve to play more tests per year than what they are playing currently, their test careers are more important than egos of PCB elites and whims and wishes of Pak posters here. Playing as many tests as possible should be your first priority.

So they don't want to play in Pakistan because of the US-Iran standoff but want to play in the UAE, a place which is being directly affected

Not at all, enough of the UAE nonsense for anyone. You compromise for one side, others will follow suite. No more playing in the UAE and I am glad the PCB never considered it for Bangladesh because being a Muslim country it defies all logic
 
BCB should simply be asked to forfeit the points for the test championship

No. We don't want to give more teams excuses to not tour. Not to mention the excuse they are using here is worse in the case of UAE.
 
Slim said:
The participating countries are SRL, Bangla, India, Nepal (?) and Afghanistan.

India can play their matches in UAE.

SRL and Bangla would have already completed their t20I tours by then, no excuse to not play?

Nepal will surely play, and Afghanistan has no reason not to play.

So, only india's matches and maybe the final can be conducted in UAE.

Pakistan will simply refuse to tour BD for test matches as Pakistani team doesnt feel safe due to "government approval" :) :faf

1. India has already said they will not visit pakistan. Has Afghanistan visited pakistan for a match? It will be laughable that asia cup will be held in two countries. This is proper asia cup and not emerging asia cup.

2. Well if pakistan alone refuses to tour BD and others tour BD, then Pak may lose points. Here pakistans problem isnt that BD isnt touring. Its that. Most teams are not touring pakistan are in the same boat as BD. Thats the difference.

As i said 1 3 are doable. 5 may be. Rest will be very difficult.

Thanks for your suggestion and supporting BD's ridiculous demand.
UAE is closer to Iran and in ME and as per BP they can't play test in Pakistan due to USA-IRAN tension.
No need to agree anything less than playing tests in Pakistan, no need to play tamasha cricket with DB.
 
BCB conditions to play test,

1-US-Iran make a peace deal
2-Peace should return to the whole world,
3-Global warming should stop, US, India and China should signs a pact.

That's easy.

That's not what SL did. They only had the Tests and LOI tours swapped around. That tour was already split across two legs, and Pakistan had enough time in the calendar to swap the LOI and Test legs.

PCB offered BD to play the Tests now and T20Is later because later during the year, there is really no window for a 2-Test series, but 3 T20Is could be accommodated in a week-long tour. But BD seems to be hell-bent on not playing the Tests right now. The only option left is sometime in April either this year or next year.

No that's not what sri lanka did. The Sri Lankan series was already split into an LOI leg and a test leg, all they asked for was to switch the order around. Do some research before you talk.
 
It will be very disappointing if PCB gives in to BCB’s demands and compromises. Hopefully they won’t.

Plain and simple ICC need to see these excuses as a forfeit of series by bangladesh.
 
What a preposterous excuse. The tensions between US-Iran are concentrated in Iraq. Only thing happening in Iran (which shares a border with Balochistan in the South no less) are protests .

Not saying what they are doing is totally logical, all I mean is that you have a young team and if you don't want them to fade away or become t20 mercs you need to play more tests. Totally worth it even if it means to swallow your ego and give in to some not so logical demands.
 
Funny thing is that if Bangladesh had cited tensions in Afghanistan it actually would have been a more legitimate excuse. Afghanistan shares a large border with Pakistan from the West. But Iran? Lmao. Makes it clear that they are only interested in dramaybaazi, not cricket.

Will BCB or ICC will pay the costs associated with holding the matches in UAE? As why should PCB be do the heavy lifting when it has been manifested on number of occasions that Pak is as safe as any other countries and they can hold the matches at a much much lower cost.

I'm expecting to take flack for this but once the anger subsides we have to look at this issue rationally because we cannot browbeat our way to a solution.

Let's be honest, even if we were to persuade Bangladesh to tour for Tests, how many teams in world cricket bar Sri Lanka are willing to do likewise ? Are we saying the chances of England, Australia and New Zealand touring for Tests is a serious possibility any time soon ? Most international teams haven't visited Pakistan for 10-15 years for ANY form of cricket. Many Test cricketers are specialists who haven't played in leagues like PSL so haven't even experienced the security situation for themselves.

We made the mistake of thinking the Sri Lanka Test series was a watershed and normal service would resume. And believe me I'm desperate to get the hell outta UAE. However in reality, Sri Lanka were always likely to be the first team to tour Pakistan for Tests because PCB has shared a special and close bond with SLC for decades and so the two boards have always gained political favours from each other. However other boards are harder to convince so what's the solution to avoid going through this drama before every home series ?

I think Pakistan can and should convince, other boards to play limited overs series in Pakistan. White ball cricket in Pakistan should be the default position. It's a short tour for the players who don't need to worry about a prolonged stay in the country that a Test series will entail. Australia haven't toured since 1998, England haven't since 2005, New Zealand haven't since 2003 and South Africa haven't since 2007. Let's at least break the ice with white ball cricket instead of an all-or-nothing mindset that'll get us nowhere. Hopefully from there Tests will follow.

Obviously your starting point to negotiations should be for all home internationals to be staged in Pakistan. But if there's resistance from players and families then you've no option to compromise unless you want no home internationals whatsoever. BCB have dragged out this saga appallingly but PCB needs to learn the calculated game of diplomacy because ICC ain't docking points from every team that refuse to tour.
Click to expand...

Problem for most people have been the lame excuses, delaying tactics used by BCB when they should have clearly stated whatever the decision was from the very start.
 
BCB have knoe bout this tour since the FTP was agreed, yet they have felt the need to drag it out needlessly with childish antics. With cricket schedules as they are we can have teams litterally trying to dictate things, asking for rearrangements etc.

PCB have litterally offered BCB a list of options and instead we get a pathetic excuse.

Cancel the tour and bangladesh can do there 1st national sport in time off instead of playing cricket.
 
I truly wanted this series to take place but unfortunately it didn't.
I think it is now more sensible to play t20 series only after all these dramas because Pakistan cannot miss the opportunity to host more and more countries and strengthen their case to host Australia/England someday.
Plus, BCB may also decide to play Tests in Pakistan as well if t20 series is properly conducted.
 
Honestly if BCB just outright said they did not want to tour, it would have been better than using the Iran-US tensions as an excuse.

Sounds like they just pulled it out of their rear end.

Wouldnt have mattered. Pcb withheld NOCs as not a single player of world t20 winning team was auctioned. There was an agenda not to select Pakistani players in ipl second edition. Pcb in response didn’t give NOCs. Even if they did I don’t think pakistani players would’ve been selected for ipl. Anti PAKISTAN agenda is the #1 policy of bcci and that still stands.
 
I still don’t think we (Pakistan) are in any position to force Bangladesh, neither can ICC


I hope sanity prevails and pcb agree to host Bangladesh for T20is. I hope that will break the ice and maybe during IPL they can be convinced to visit for 1 or 2 tests

India-Pak tensions are not hidden from anybody, so the frosty cricketing ties are to be expected. But the scenario with Bangladesh is completely different, so you can’t equate the two.
 
Not at all surprised or shocked by Bangladesh decision. But certain posters who were expecting Bangladesh to come for even T20 and still crying should get their act together and get real.

Bangladeshwould never have refused as the BCCI and BCB both don't want to give Pakistan any excuse not to participate in the multinational tournaments that would happen in India and Bangladesh,

Pakistanis gave Bangladesh the attention their touring team would'nt have been able to achieve.

PCB now will receive flak for not cancelling NOCs for its players in BPL. Request PCB after being trampled upon the second time, there is a long term planning required regarding BCB, need to stop participating in the nonsense tournament called Asia Cup and tour countries that tour Pakistan only. That Asian bloc ** does'nt exist and Pakistan needs to look after its interest first.

No more bilaterals on games with Bangladesh for next 5-7 years is the least one can do to thank Bangladeshis for their incredible effort to think Pakistan's isolation is helping them get games or not letting Pakistan host test cricket will prolong its isolation, things will get worse in this region.

PCB helped that freak Nazmul Hassan to get a lot air time from indian media, PCB needs to work on its approach.

PCB as been chasing BCB for a month now, they should've told them this last month. If you can come for full tour, nice, if not then adios and Pakistan should've given a review to their relationship with BCB.

PCB than tried to negotiate with a country like Bangladesh that was insane and you have several posters here who are acting desperate still wanting them to tour for 3 t20s which is below self-respect and setting a bad precedent which eventually not help PCB.

When BCB they can't stay for more than a week, PCB offered them to conclude the test series only a fly in fly out program, where Bangladesh team landed in Pakistan played in a Test match then fly back to Dhaka once the match finishes, then fly in play a test in Rawalpindi and then fly back again.
BCB used PCB's desperation to accept one test match in Pakistan and second test to be played in Dhaka to help BCB earn some revenue for a Pakistani home test.

Check the stupid reasons of BCB they cited Iran and US tension as one reason and requested hosting in Islamabad where a PCB stadium does'nt exist.

Bangladesh don't want to come, their chapter should be closed indefinitely in the form of bilateral relations and Pakistan in foreseeable future never to play them or allowing Bangladesh to host anything.
PCB for now should just cancel the tour and make sure Pakistan does'nt travel to Bangladesh for the next 5-7 years.

UAE is more of a party to Iran tension then Pakistan, if we go by the BD logic that would be last place where Pakistan be playing BD. So you are saying SL were brainless who visited for tests not so long ago?

Should have played a solitary test instead of the T20s. Not like the match would have gone to day 5.

One test does not constitute a series, it has be two tests or nothing. BD will suffer more in the long run as they hardly play any test matches.
 
On the next visit to BD Pakistan got a ready made excuse. They cannot visit BD coz of Indian internal citizen bill issue and riots taking places. ;-)

BCB was saying samething before Iran issue started quite clearly he is lying when he says that due to Middle East issue we are prepare to visit Pakistan for a shorter period. I bed if Iranian issue was not there he would have made up something else. He should man up and sya he does not want BD visiting Pakistan. Beside Iran issue is no longer an issue now.
 
PCB should remain patient and host the T20s as planned. After the series, the BCB may decide to stick around for the Test series.

If at the end of the 2 year WTC cycle, if BCB refuse to tour, ICC will surely give Pak 120 points, as they should.

But some cricket is better than no cricket.

Foolish move by BCB. Already England and Australia refuse to play us, if you add Pakistan to this list, BD will only be able to play Windies, SL, Zim and Afghanistan.
 
My personal opinion is they should go ahead with t20s. Invite Nazmul to Pakistan and ehsan mani should personally have a chat and look at the current ground situation. Maybe bcb will send a team for test and ODIs later. But that would be helpful in justifying South Africa and other countries to come.

No, the excuse should be that Pakistan want to give BD gov full chance to focus their complete attention on Iran-US conflict and peace negotiations among them.
 
Pakistan should also boycott the Asia cup, the most pointless tournament in the world of cricket and instead play a bilateral series with a non-Asian team during the tournament.

Maybe bcb will send a team for test and ODIs later. But that would be helpful in justifying South Africa and other countries to come.

NO, BCB and their players lost all goodwill they once enjoyed ( if there was any ) from Pakistanis , they now are not welcome for T20 only, even they came, no one would be interested in watching them playing.

Not sure why you think SL would follow Pakistan. Am I missing something?

SL and BD are expected to play a 3-match Test series this year. It is part of WTC.

PCB should remain patient and host the T20s as planned. After the series, the BCB may decide to stick around for the Test series.

If at the end of the 2 year WTC cycle, if BCB refuse to tour, ICC will surely give Pak 120 points, as they should.

But some cricket is better than no cricket.

Foolish move by BCB. Already England and Australia refuse to play us, if you add Pakistan to this list, BD will only be able to play Windies, SL, Zim and Afghanistan.

No we don;t need them, Pakistan cricket is doing well without playing with India, will be OK without BD also, even for long time.

Best post of this thread.

PCB should look at this positively. BCB is coming to play T20. Thats an excellent improvement. I bet 6 months back no one thought this was even possible. Lets get ready to welcome bangladesh team and celebrate this.

And once T20 starts, BCB will come for tests too. Both boards need each other and can help each other. Start with T20 and progress from there.

Best post if you're are a BCB and BCCI supporter and ridiculous if sincere with Pak cricket.

I completely understand your frustration and trust me I was in the same boat as you until yesterday. Thing is, my personal is to go ahead with t20s is only because I would not want the work done previously by Pakistan to bring cricket to go in vain just because of arrogance of bcb. Cancelling the tour I feel would be a step backwards. So it is better to have cricket in Pakistan and show the world that Pakistan is truly safe for cricket.
 
No team except probably WI (and Eng in Aus and vice versa) is popular anywhere outside its home. And at home, Bangla players are huge stars. I have travelled in BD and know this for a fact.

Pakistan will not become stronger unless it plays more matches. If Pak does not play against India and BD, SENA team do not come to Pak, is excluded from IPL, which is tougher than WC with way more money and is doing economically poor for over 2 decades resulting in BD (and earlier India) becoming richer than Pak; it will be difficult for PCB to become stronger despite the best wishes of all Pak fans and also others who want to see good cricket.

Definitely, cancelling the series would be bad for PAkistan in the long run. They dont want to play tests postpone it but dont play in UAE. Play T20Is and keep trying to convince them

Egos and emotions are not good when the greater goal is to bring cricket back home.
