BD High Performance squad to play against Pak High Performance squad in Pakistan [Update # 260]

[Varun]

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan has said they may ask Bangladesh for compensation for not touring Pakistan before agreeing to visit them for a series in July-August this year.

Talking to newsmen on Monday, the chairman said, “We want to host Bangladesh but its chances are not bright. As we already toured Bangladesh in 2015 and they did not turn up in Pakistan in return [on security grounds], we may ask them to compensate us financially if they want us to tour them again in July-August this year.”

Bangladesh had last visited Pakistan for a bilateral series in 2003.

The PCB does not want to host Bangladesh in the UAE because of the latter’s unattractive market value due to which the PCB had to suffer from financial loss.

The chairman said the upcoming meeting of the ICC on April 24 was very important as Shashank Man*ohar had withdrawn his resignation as ICC president last week, acknowledging the resolution passed by all cricket boards requesting him to withdraw his resignation.

“We will hold separate meetings with Bangladesh and India besides meeting Giles Clarke [ICC Task Force head on Pakistan] to discuss bilateral relations,” he said.

He informed media persons that Clarke had asked him to reach Dubai well before the meeting so that they could discuss ways for resumption of India-Pakistan bilateral series.

Shaharyar said the PCB would make it clear to the BCCI that they (PCB) would sue them (BCCI) if the latter did not honour the MoUs signed between them in 2014 for resumption of bilateral series.

He further said return of Manohar had brightened chances of approving a new constitution for the ICC under which there would be no role for the Big Three (India, England and Australia).

Shaharyar said the PCB had raised some objections to the constitution in which the Zimbabwe Cricket Board was not treated fairly, since the country was a full member of the ICC.

He said there were reports that India would support the proposal of removing the Big Three formula but on the other hand they would ask for more share from ICC’s annual income.

The PCB chief added that decision in this regard would be taken after reviewing the market value of Indian team in the eyes of broadcasters.

[Couch Cricketer]

PCB should invite Bangla to UAE at first if they want to show respect. Bangla are not poor anymore financially and won't care if series with Pak is cancelled. PCB has to act smart, BDesh are not minnows anymore in ODIs at least.

I agree they are being stupid about this they should be hosting a series in UAE. And maybe try to schedule 1 match in Pakistan. So a team could land play the game and leave the next day no one would be willing to play a whole series you have to take small steps first.

 

[WC-Passion]

We won an odi against Australia in Australia recently.
It's a real progress.

After Misbah and YK , team is on right track.

Yes but we are taking a step back when we select Kami, Shehzad and Tanvir, while also losing out on Sharjeel who was arguably our best player in the LOI matches.

 

[ahmedzee]

Just invite BD to UAE after September (when the temperature is right there).

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pakistan should just agree to play both series, home and away against Bangladesh in the UAE. A vastly imporved team with a big following. Bangladesh deserve the opportunity to play Pakistan in the UAE and have a chance of being the first team to win a series in the fortress of UAE. IF Bangladesh go to win the series, it will be a big turning point for the future of their cricket. But they wont...

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Just invite BD to UAE after September (when the temperature is right there).

We have series that time. Tight schedule for Bangladesh this year. Only time to invite bd in uae it the time time scheduled for Pak to tour bd. Other time is December.

 

[Executioner]

Why not the same attitude towards ECB CSA or CA? Or even WICB.

Why is it always bangladesh who have an obligation to play in Pakistan. I don't mind paying compensation for PCB's losses for not being able to host us in Pakistan but surely the treatment should be the same for other boards or maybe PCB feels that other team's players' lives are more valuable and pulling out is just?

PCB should treat us the same way and invite us to the UAE when both teams are free. I can guarantee PCB will get more revenue hosting bangladesh than hosting SA, England or Australia. Why? Sponsors from bangladesh and the fan following

 

[cricketjoshila]

So pcb will invite everyone to UAE but ask BD to play in Pakistan.Why?Are BD inferior people?Whats the reason?On top of that they want compensation?

 

[saeed5646]

Do you know anything about a history between two board from last 7 to 8 years .if you do you will have all the answer .Pak have no series in the period where the temperature of uae is at high 40s so pak cannot host any team in uae thats why they have request ban to play in the pakistan rather than uae and as expected ban have rejected the offer to play only "tw0" t20 match series in pakistan .

From what i understand bangladesh are free in feb march but pak cannot host them in uae due to Psl and when pak is free bangladesh have bpl in nov,december thats why both board are unable to organize a full series regularly

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Absurd logic.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

At which time of the year they invited WI? If you want bd so badly invite bd on that time instead of wi next year or so. If you really want to host anyone then you can manage proper time. These logics are nonsense.

 

[saeed5646]

So pcb will invite everyone to UAE but ask BD to play in Pakistan.Why?Are BD inferior people?Whats the reason?On top of that they want compensation?

It is funny coming from you who defend bcci blindly

India invite every country expect pakistan while pakistan who have played last 3 series in india and pak are yet to get a return series form bcci or any profit of hosting india

Are pak inferior people please tell us .??

What is the reason??

Reason is simple pakistan government does not allow pcb indirectly to play ban due to tension between the two countries the same theory bcci uses against pakistan simple

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

One is total political and the other one is to try to use only one team(bd) as guineapig to prove something. Two facts are very much different.

 

[saeed5646]

No one can force or blackmail bcb to convince ban players to play a short series in pakistan .they all in their rights to reject the offer and one another reason i don,t see bangladesh playing in pakistan ever till current government is removed

 

[Zak_Fan]

Shameless from PCB. No team in it's right mind would visit Pakistan today, and you shouldn't expect to be compensated for that.

 

[Harpoon]

Why not the same attitude towards ECB CSA or CA? Or even WICB.
Why is it always bangladesh who have an obligation to play in Pakistan.

This mess up is entirely pcbs fault. They have unrealistic expectations of Bangladesh. I can guarantee u that if the world was not touring Bangla, pak would be first to send team to them. They have this old concept of brotherhood which doesn't hold with any country and especially not with haseena govt. pak should lower expectations and treat Bangla like every other country.all this brotherhood thinking is archaic and offensive to the Bangladeshi people.
I hope pcb learns a lesson this time. But I have my doubts. These old people running PCb should give way to young ones befor pcb can get in line with modern times. What a disgrace shehryar khan is.

 

[Harpoon]

Also PCB should not tour Bangladesh. Pak has toured there enough. No more tours until Bangla tours pak. Bcb is owned by bcci. PCB should treat them exactly the same. No more tours. Enough of this charade.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Also PCB should not tour Bangladesh. Pak has toured there enough. No more tours until Bangla tours pak. Bcb is owned by bcci. PCB should treat them exactly the same. No more tours. Enough of this charade.

I agree we have already toured them 3 times and Pakistani players have risked their lives over there. Time to return the favour.

 

[Drreddymd]

This is hilarious. pak board should demand compensation from every one who r not willing to tour pak. Why only to ban?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Some ppers never want to agree or face the reality of their own country's chaotic situations but will only blame others for this Instead of blaming us or others blame your leaders and force them to make the coutry peaceful for at least 1 or two year and then tell bcb to send their team there. Enough of this blaming others rather than excepting own's fault.

 

[Balthazar]

LOL It's very hard to view Bangladesh differently no matter how improved their team looks. Hope BCCI doesn't treat them like that irrespective of their fans behavior.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

BD is no Switzerland. They have home grown ISIS.

Pakistan by their standards is more peaceful and prosperous than BD.

 

[czar]

BD is no Switzerland. They have home grown ISIS.

Pakistan by their standards is more peaceful and prosperous than BD.

No International Cricket team has ever been attacked directly by the terrorists and left to defend themselves anywhere around the world except Pakistan.

The terrorists have never managed to break the security circle in Bangladesh which they were able to break very easily in Pakistan, that's why no teams will ever tour Pakistan unless the country remains terror free for atleast 5 years.

 

[Executioner]

From what i understand bangladesh are free in feb march but pak cannot host them in uae due to Psl and when pak is free bangladesh have bpl in nov,december thats why both board are unable to organize a full series regularly

If both teams are free to play in Pakistan then surely they will be free to play in the UAE

BD is no Switzerland. They have home grown ISIS.

Pakistan by their standards is more peaceful and prosperous than BD.

And how many deaths have happened in Bangladesh in terrorist activities in last 7 years?

I don't see any disruption in Bangladesh.

 

[saeed5646]

pak have invited ban in pakistan in june july and in uae pakistan cannot host any team in that period due

to high temperature which is in high 40s

Define Terror attack. By Western verbiage, every attack on Pakistani soil is terrorism. A guy could rob a man on the street and shoot him, and they'd call him a terrorist.

True, then invite us sometime else. Doesn't necessarily have to be summer.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Do you know anything about a history between two board from last 7 to 8 years .if you do you will have all the answer .Pak have no series in the period where the temperature of uae is at high 40s so pak cannot host any team in uae thats why they have request ban to play in the pakistan rather than uae and as expected ban have rejected the offer to play only "tw0" t20 match series in pakistan .

Why should BAN play in Pakistan when everyone else has refused to play there?It was ok till PCB was requesting,problem is when now they have started demanding compensation for not visiting Pakistan.If someone doesnt feel safe then even 1 hour is an issue let alone "two" T20s.

 

[cricketjoshila]

It is funny coming from you who defend bcci blindly

India invite every country expect pakistan while pakistan who have played last 3 series in india and pak are yet to get a return series form bcci or any profit of hosting india

Are pak inferior people please tell us .??

What is the reason??

Reason is simple pakistan government does not allow pcb indirectly to play ban due to tension between the two countries the same theory bcci uses against pakistan simple

Indian govt has a declared policy of not playing with Pakistan bilaterally anywhere. India and Pakistan are not friendly countries.

So PCB is not allowed to play BD in UAE but is allowed to play them in Pakistan.

 

[sshakir411]

Bangladesh will have to pay...so will India

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Compensation for what ???!!! Not risking my life????!!!!

 

[saeed5646]

Why should BAN play in Pakistan when everyone else has refused to play there?It was ok till PCB was requesting,problem is when now they have started demanding compensation for not visiting Pakistan.If someone doesnt feel safe then even 1 hour is an issue let alone "two" T20s.

well they have every rights to reject the series but they should also don,t expect any favor from pcb .

Pcb can boycott bangladesh tour because their is no legal binding if its effect bcb or not is another matter

The middle ground is which is what PCB is thinking PCB will tour bangladesh but will play extra t20s and odis

in that tour but Bangladesh board will provide all the profit to pcb of that extra t20s or odis which is best

way for both the board .remember same policy is used against west indies and thats why we are playing

4 t20s instead of 2 or 3

 

[saeed5646]

Indian govt has a declared policy of not playing with Pakistan bilaterally anywhere. India and Pakistan are not friendly countries.

So PCB is not allowed to play BD in UAE but is allowed to play them in Pakistan.

i know you will never ever admit Bcci or indian government fault

but in shortly it is same logic pakistan used against ban which india used against pakistan

we will boycott bilateral series or any series with pakistan but will play in worldcup or champions

trophy because of tw0 points

 

[Zak_Fan]

i know you will never ever admit Bcci or indian government fault

but in shortly it is same logic pakistan used against ban which india used against pakistan

we will boycott bilateral series or any series with pakistan but will play in worldcup or champions

But how can they use this logic after inviting Bangladesh to Pakistan?

Or have Bangladesh been given an "enemy" status overnight for declining to tour Pakistan?

 

[saeed5646]

did not india invited pakistan in 2012 or that does not count ??i mean what happen after that

why india are avoiding pakistan

 

[Zak_Fan]

did not india invited pakistan in 2012 or that does not count ??

But political boycott requires political reasons. Has any event taken place since the Bangladesh invite that could be used as an excuse?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

BD is no Switzerland. They have home grown ISIS.

Pakistan by their standards is more peaceful and prosperous than BD.

We are not blaming anyone or demanding COMPENSATION ( )from anyone everyday

 

[saeed5646]

But political boycott requires political reasons. Has any event taken place since the Bangladesh invite that could be used as an excuse?

the two current gov are not getting along well together due to current bangladesh government

Shehryar khan is not stupid according to FTP bangladesh agree to tour pakistan or uae i don,t know

but if it is pakistan in documents to host than pakistan can push ban but it is all my assumption may be

their anything else pcb is thinking

 

[Executioner]

Regardless of what PCB has done for BCB, PCB has no right to force bangladesh players to take the plane to Pakistan for a short series.

BCB is one professional board. Bangladesh lately has been doing well. BPL has been successful in two previous seasons and corruption free too. BCB won't risk it's reputation by forcing their players, the true assets, to go to Pakistan.

I am sure a few of our players have travelled to Pakistan here and there including Tamim and Mushy but that was for their bats. But high profile visits are different altogether

 

[nighthawk23]

Do you know anything about a history between two board from last 7 to 8 years .if you do you will have all the answer .Pak have no series in the period where the temperature of uae is at high 40s so pak cannot host any team in uae thats why they have request ban to play in the pakistan rather than uae and as expected ban have rejected the offer to play only "tw0" t20 match series in pakistan .

It is not like Pakistan is a temperate paradise in late May, unless the matches are held in Quetta.

 

[ahmedzee]

We have series that time. Tight schedule for Bangladesh this year. Only time to invite bd in uae it the time time scheduled for Pak to tour bd. Other time is December.

Thats true. Don't forget the Cricket season in UAE starts in October and ends by April.

 

[saeed5646]

It is not like Pakistan is a temperate paradise in late May, unless the matches are held in Quetta.

in uae temperature is in nights is almost same as in day compare to pakistan where temperature drop

significantly especially in karachi where in day time also there is cool breeze .

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Thats true. Don't forget the Cricket season in UAE starts in October and ends by April.

Effectively International cricket in UAE ends in January, as after it PSL starts in February and ends by March.

 

[Citizen4]

bhai kia hogya? Karachi main kahan se agayi cool breeze during the day in May? garmi hoti hai din main achi khasi, heat stroke lg rhay hotay hain logon ko

 

[Rana]

The whole cricketing world is in a mess right now because of the sub-continent.

India and its ever lasting lust for power and implementing its way in the ICC because of all its revenues generated.

Pakistan because of the chokehold they are currently under due to no International cricket being played at home. It has no clue how to deal with teams who dont want to play with them or are unwilling to tour

Bangladesh because of their new found terrorist situations, also their ever lasting struggle to make a presence in the minds of the cricketing giants.

 

[abhayjj]

Wow PCB thinks that bangladesh players life are cheap and they can be made cannon fodder and if they dare to deny it, they will sue them for not being bate!

absurd logic

So its india and ban fault that pak is suffering and no team is willing to tour pak isnt it? Atleast now realize that introspection should start from within before accusing others?

What has bcci and bcb got to do with pak isolation?

 

[saeed5646]

bhai kia hogya? Karachi main kahan se agayi cool breeze during the day in May? garmi hoti hai din main achi khasi, heat stroke lg rhay hotay hain logon ko

lol i know i was talking about nights where temperature drops

 

[Amir]

I don't see why not. People will say PCB is bullying BCB. And I say, 100% fully. BCB showed their cards when they let BCCI walk all over them. They never been able to stand up to BCCI, not even to get a 2-test series or a 5-match ODI series. Just shows how cannon fodder they are.

So you want PCB to treat you like equals. And then you want us to come for a full 3 match test tour, 5 match ODI series and 2 T20s, just like everyone else right? Nope. No one else does that for you. Now you need to figure out who gives you what and stick with them. If you are a BCCI puppet, go plead with them for more matches.

I don't think it is safe for Bangladesh to tour Pakistan, so people do not get me in a twist saying we should force them to play cause life is life. All is valuable. But doesn't hurt for us to politically twist them as they shown they have no spine, get some money out of them. Ultimately, host them in UAE and then when they want us to tour, give them the BCCI special. 1 test, 3 ODIs and maybe a T20 if we feeling charitable. Maybe Australia, New Zealand, England, India or South Africa would be willing to organize a three test series?

 

[MMHS]

All hot air.

PCB is trying to gain some cheap claps at the cost of relationship. They can try to fool anyone & can go to any Court - ICC to even UN, it's going to come back as a slap to the fools who calls embarrassment towards themselves. Most of their foreign players didn't travel to Lahore for a 4 hours match for PSL, which is PCB's own league - now they believe that they'll convince ICC or any governing body to force BCB, for a Series which came in their head a week ago. As if, BCB is going to get their pants wet .......

Instead of this drama, they should negotiate with BCB for a Series in JUL-SEP period at UAE for a night series like the AUS one, or may be in DEC, schedule permitting. Playing 5PM-1PM schedule in UAE during summer is much more cricket friendly for the low humidity than playing in Karachi or anywhere in Punjab under 45C temperature & 90% humidity. From afternoon onward, UAE actually much pleasant than subcontinent, besides, threat of rain is always there.

Otherwise, already they are the joker of world cricket - once PAK team lands in BD for the Series after these "threats", they'll look like beggars.

bang on

 

[imteaz]

So basically PCB is broke, they need money and go after Bdesh. Why caz last time Bdesh gave them $300k compensation, so they thought ok lets try again smart PCB

 

[Lonewarrior]

PCB should cancel all the FTP with Bangladesh and no need to go Bangladesh.

 

[abhayjj]

what sort of filthy attitude is this? They can't convince the biggies so they are trying to bully bangladesh as if their life is cheaper than their western counterparts.

 

[saeed5646]

So basically PCB is broke, they need money and go after Bdesh. Why caz last time Bdesh gave them $300k compensation, so they thought ok lets try again smart PCB

do you know history about that or i send you any link of blunder of bcb

 

[BD-fan]

PCB can ask anything to BCB. 15 Test matches, 10 ODIs, or 3 T20 in Pakistan.

Similarly BCB can reject all of the offers. I see nothing wrong.

However, if PCB says that they are not going to travel to BD unless BCB complies to one of their demands, then that is just sad and not understanding the environment. PCB doesn't hold any aces. With the current admin it is not going to happen (a regular tour). Even when BCB has sent their security team and the women team over there. BCB is now solvent (All the aces). Plus out of the blue, a big brother (Ind) tour can be arranged easily if that is even necessary. WI did it, SL did it, Zim did it. BCB dictates the bi-lateral discussion. Like it or not that is the way it will be in near future.

+++
As for the Cricket fans in Pakistan: I really feel for you. I can't imagine your pain and frustration. May be a process would be asking a team like BD to play a 3 game series (T20) in UAE and the finals in one of the city with proper security in place. One match of 20 overs, team goes in, plays and gets out. Shouldn't be difficult. May be BCB will think about it then. Or a T20 tri-series with BD and WI in UAE and the finals in Pakistan.

Just a thought.

 

[rinathq]

So PCB wont invite BCB for a UAE tour because of financial profitability issue but BCB has to share their revenues because they are 1 of 9 other teams that wont tour them? I can assure you guys none of the Bangladeshi fans will be upset when PCB cancels the tour to Bangladesh. We can invite other teams or even associate teams and we will still be able to attract crowds and sponsors to make enough money for BCB. Enough of this BS from PCB. I feel like BCB has been wayy too nice with their responses to PCB. Time to step up! Its clear that PCB isnt interested in building a good relationship so BCB doesnt have to be the nice guys either. Go ahead and cancel every bilateral tours with BD.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Cancel bilaterals with BD.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Bangladesh will have to pay...so will India

Yes.We heard IPL will shut down when Pakistanis were not allowed to participate.

 

[cricketjoshila]

i know you will never ever admit Bcci or indian government fault

but in shortly it is same logic pakistan used against ban which india used against pakistan

we will boycott bilateral series or any series with pakistan but will play in worldcup or champions

trophy because of tw0 points

Then boycott BD everywhere except in ICC tournaments.

 

[cricketjoshila]

did not india invited pakistan in 2012 or that does not count ??i mean what happen after that

why india are avoiding pakistan

It was testing the waters, but the situation detoriated 2 days after the series and its now believed that the political situation is not at all feasible for any series.

PCB should host us in UAE when they host lesser sides like WI amd SL all the time. If PCB can't make money it may be their players aren't that marketable after Afridi's retirement and fixing/doping controversies surrounding Amir and Yasir.

 

[sshakir411]

Yes.We heard IPL will shut down when Pakistanis were not allowed to participate.

Well according to Indian reports India is already seeking permission to play. My guess is Bangladesh will of course follow suit because they lack any decision making of their own.

Might be hot air.

But Bangla isn't good enough that we invite it for a series in the UAE, our fortress. Sorry for the reality check.

It's obvious that bcb is denying to tour for political reasons and anti Pak elements in the govt.

Similarly, Pak wants bcb to tour because they want intl cricket, for their own interest, even though they know Bangla is a mediocre side.

 

[Hawkeye]

Why not the same attitude towards ECB CSA or CA? Or even WICB.

Why is it always bangladesh who have an obligation to play in Pakistan. I don't mind paying compensation for PCB's losses for not being able to host us in Pakistan but surely the treatment should be the same for other boards or maybe PCB feels that other team's players' lives are more valuable and pulling out is just?

PCB should treat us the same way and invite us to the UAE when both teams are free. I can guarantee PCB will get more revenue hosting bangladesh than hosting SA, England or Australia. Why? Sponsors from bangladesh and the fan following

They're suing for commitment to tour in 2015 and then not honoring it. I.e. return tour acted Pak s to BD.

Nobody else has committed.

Better to read some details.

Might be hot air.

But Bangla isn't good enough that we invite it for a series in the UAE, our fortress. Sorry for the reality check.

It's obvious that bcb is denying to tour for political reasons and anti Pak elements in the govt.

Similarly, Pak wants bcb to tour because they want intl cricket, for their own interest, even though they know Bangla is a mediocre side.

You can do better than this nonsense.

Your own post has 2 contradictions -

1. Let's consider in your bubble BD isn't good enough to play a team that they beat last time 3-0 in ODI inside 40 overs. So, PCB doesn't think it's good enough to host BD in UAE, but it's quite acceptable to play them in PAK.

2. Let's take BCB isn't playing PAK due to political reasons - but they are ready to play PAK in UAE. While, other teams are doing the same, but there is no political reason for them.

Last tours had been in BD & Bangladesh will not tour Pakistan this time either, while Pakistan will tour Bangladesh as per schedule, & then PAK players will cue for BPL action - hope you post here with straight face that day.

They hosted Afghanistan in Pakistan.

Will they ever invite Afg for a tour to the UAE?

That's the logic. Bangladesh beat even India and other teams at that time. They're a rising force and sometimes I term them better than Pak in ODIs.

But they're still far too weak in Tests and cannot win on a consistent basis in ODIs, which can certainly change in future.

Also, bangla has sent their women team plus also security experts, and committed in the past to do a return tour. So can't be compared with others.

Good thing, Pakistan should fix its terrorist issues before inviting other teams. There's a major bomb blast every single month with dozens of casualties, foreign players would be hot targets

As for Bangla siding with India, are all terrorist acts in Pakistan a conspiracy by BCCI? Denial won't help pakistan

Zimbo series and PSL final went smoothly. Terrorism has died down.

Pakistan should not tour BD because of ISIS threat. Infact cancel bilateral relations with this ungrateful minnow.

Don't post nonsense that instigates people to lash back later. BCB has declined to tour PAK - so what PCB is going to do? Cancel the the next tour? Stop BD players in PSL? Stop PAK players in Bpl or Dhaka league? Come back to post here after all this.

Before England tour there was a major crisis in heart of Dhaka; last 2 weeks there had been almost war like situation in few areas - still AUS hasn't cancelled its tour; which should be indicative to deluded people like you about where the problem lies. Credibility is earned.

And don't post with loud mouth regarding minnows & whose who - Ian Chappel's comment should be enough embrassment.

I don't think you are understanding the situation. The PSL was totally safe. Terrorism has gone down significantly.

If BD can't play 2 T20 matches when they know security is exceptional and enviornment is a lot peaceful then what bilateral relation is this?

I understand western nations not touring and they have always been like this but why BD? Its politics. All politics.

Why play a minnow in UAE and make a loss? Why play in BD for pittance for the 4th time?

This is not an equal relationship. Pakistan should cancel all future tours with BD till Hasina is gone.

We need to work with SL wholeheartedly. Pakistan played in SL when bomb blasts went off nearby during their civil war and still carried on. We need to nuture our relationship with them.

With BD im sorry to say the politics has spoilt this relationship. No more hand of friendship and full tours. Time we give you an India 1 test special silly silly minnow.

After 8 years one PSL final isn't enough to prove the security situation, when even most Pakistanis are not even endorsing that. What you know regarding peace & security; try to convince that most Pakistani posters at PP first, then fica & other bodies before going to individual boards. That's logical way to do, not this PCB style which is solely to earn some political mileage in PAK voters. I can explain that & you probably know it better, which is not the right topic here to discuss.

You are not fooling even yourself if you think that PCB is going to make a loss for hosting bd in UAE - check some facts & figures form cricket economics. Or you can check my other post regarding hosting BD in UAE instead of WI, SR, Zim or even NZ. What's the incentive of BD to play Pakistan which is ranked below in ODI & 5th in Test - its more risking ranking points than gaining such, if you want to go by that route.

Coming to Hasina Govt., you are again fooling yourself - even if Wahabis come into power, things are not going to change much. Actually, it'll change apparently because PAK won't play this political game. This is entirely political game by PCB & its government; while you guys are felling into that trap perfectly. They are trying to earn some cheap popularity at the expense of BCB, who called the bluff; by agreeing to play anywhere else. Business usual, mature organizations don't expose themselves in such way that force them to bite tongue later.

The way your board is begging to bcci for even that one test, even street beggars are less parsistent; I think it's better they should keep trying with SRL or afghans for better success.

PCB invite a team and if they refuse they ask for compensation , I dont know when are we going to get any sane heads in pcb

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has turned down an invitation from their Pakistan counterpart for a tour before July this year.

In an attempt to bring international cricket back to the country, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) invited Bangladesh for a two-match T20I series to take place later this year.

Pakistan will tour Bangladesh in July and hoped to play host before their visit. PCB has also asked the Bangladesh board to share part of the profits generated from their visit towards compensation for repeatedly refusing to tour their nation for six years.

The PCB had hosted the Pakistan Super League final in Lahore earlier this month with a view to proving that the country could safely host cricket matches. A representative of the BCB attended the final in Lahore on March 5.

However, citing that security arrangements are still inadequate, the BCB has turned down the invite for the tour.

“We had a BCB security team visit Pakistan during the final of the PSL T20 last month. The reports were not satisfactory enough due to which we had to pull back. Even the ICC had a fact finding team visit the country and did not see any development as of yet,” BCB’s media and communications committee chairman Jalal Younus was quoted as saying by Dhaka Tribune.

ICC security advisor Sean Norris was present at the PSL final to assess the situation and security arrangements. He is expected to submit a report at the ICC board meeting in April.

Bangladesh have said that they are willing to play the series at a neutral venue. However, PCB do not consider it financially viable to host teams like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in UAE, which has been adopted for their home matches since the 2009 Lahore attacks on the Sri Lanka team.

Bangladesh are now the fourth team in two years to turn down invitations to tour Pakistan; the others were West Indies, Ireland and Sri Lanka. Zimbabwe were the first nation to visit Pakistan after the attacks when they played a three-match ODI series and two-match T20I series in 2015.

Either Bangladeshi women cricketers are not worthy or may be they are more brave than men.

SK lost his mind! Why on earth he is begging to Bangladesh regardless how bad we are. Soon or later BCCI will show their true colour and apart from us or SL none will help them. They will fall in their own hole. Confident is good but arrogance is worse

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

So much arrogance after getting absolutely mauled for 2 decades.....

No wonder no set of fans ever want to indulge with Bdeshis in general. Heck I'd even be willing to discuss cricket with an Indian than any of BD fans.
