LAHORE: On the back of successfully holding the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has invited Bangladesh to play two T20 matches here before their tour to Bangladesh in July-August.

The PCB wants Bangladesh to tour the country in May, hoping it would strengthen Pakistan’s case of reviving international cricket at home.

PCB conducted the PSL final under tight security in Lahore on March 5 with a number of foreign players in action.

In recent years the PCB has invited several foreign teams but have only succeeded in hosting Zimbabwe, Kenya and Afghanistan. The country’s cricket governing body said Ireland and the West Indies were also willing to tour but cancelled their plans following bobmb blasts on both occasions.

not this again, we already made chums by Kamal, why do this all over again. The PCB must be masochists
 
Bangladesh refused when they were minnows, so quite unlikely that they will agree after becoming a Cricketing powerhouse. :shakib
 
Not again :facepalm:

Best thing to do is invite Afghanistan for a ODI series after the cut off date. That will mean bringing back international cricket to Pakistan and with the series after cut off date, there is no risk for Pakistan in losing points
 
Has Bangladesh responded to this invitation? What do Bangla Pper's think about the chances of this tour going ahead?
 
If it was before the recent bomb blasts then there would be 0.5% chance but now it's negative chance.

England almost didn't tour Bangladesh for security reasons. The England captain Eoin Morgan and Alex Hales refused to tour. God forbid another terror attack happens in Bangladesh like the last one then international teams may not tour Bangladesh just the way Australia pulled out of the under 19 world cup and refuse to send their senior team on a bilateral tour even though Bangladesh has become excellent at home.

Our Muslim majority countries need to show solidarity with one another during this difficult time for muslim countries in general. France hosted the euros even after the Paris and Nice attacks. Pakistan is providing head of state level security to the opposition where chances of an attack are close to nil.

Under normal circumstances Bangladesh would tour for a limited over series for sure, with the head of state level of security being provided, but with Bangladesh's strings being pulled towards alignment with India, we can only hope.

Pakistani ppl need to understand that it's nothing about the alignment with india. It's solely Bangladesh's own fact. Bragging ind in any case of Bangladesh should be checked. Now Bangladesh MOST times take their own international decisions on their own. Now they have the guts .though i know sometime they follow india but this decision is solely Bangladesh's.

It's common sense really, You can't really bribe a team to come to your country when they don't want to and specially when they are on a role in international cricket.

A series in UAE will be very competitive, Another option could be Tri-Series by adding Sri Lanka or NZ.
 
Bangla has a very good chance here to tour a respectable non-minnow team and try to win.

Though, they won't be able to win, but the matches can be competitive.

There are no security issues now.
 
How are they inviting them in May?
On May 14 Pakistan-West Indies tour will finish and then they will take 2-3 days to travel back to Pakistan and get relaxed,after it they should travel to England to get suited their conditions for Champions Trophy as it is a major event,so if they plan to invite them in those few spare days Pakistan might be hurting his chances further in Champions Trophy which will begin from 1 June.
 
Here is what going to happen.

Bangladesh will obviously refuse to come to pakistan and Knowing PCB they will refuse to tour bangladesh later this year. LoL.

She did the right thing by not showing up if you see from her point of view.

Her whole family was killed by our army, the only reason she is alive today is because she was studying outside of east Pakistan at the time.
 
Not a bad thing by PCB, they should get this tournament done, and then next year PCB should arrange a tournament for minnow teams in pakistan. Zimbabwe, ireland, Afghanistan, and Pakistan A playing a tournament against all othera in 3-4 cities.

Then I hope you enjoy hosting Zimbabwe A, Ireland A, and Afghanistan A.

This argument is a non-starter. Why would teams come for a series of exhibition matches which won't even count as ODI/T20I?
 
Question is why PCB is running after India but not asking bangladesh to your UAE instead

We have an improving side which is as good in limited overs as Pakistan.

We have a large fanbase and sponsors.

Bangladesh is easily a more profitable team then even a side like new zealand
 
Dont post rubbish just to increase post counts.

Thread is about the tour etc - keep other arguments off it.

Exactly, why cant PAK invite BD to UAE just like they do to other countries including WI?

I an pretty sure BD would not reject that offer.
 
Don't think, there is enough time.

Besides, only PCB can think of a T20 tour, 15 days before an ICC ODI event. May not be in PAK, but BCB definitely would have played PAK in UAE (better in UK) 3/4 ODI, as a perfect preparation for that tournament within that tight window. I actually don't think BCB would agree to play T20s, even at home just about 7 days before flying to CT 2017 - at least that much sanity I expect from them, otherwise they are coming to same level of PCB.

PSL final was attended by BCB's technical people, therefore against popular beliefs, a tour of PAK might not be impossible in near future; but as I said, BCB won't play a T20 Series even at home just before CT. Had PCB got it in their upper chamber, they would have planned few ODIs in Scotland, Ireland with the host or even triangular against SRL, WI, BD just to give the players an opportunity to acclimatize from dry, sunny & slow WI to wet, gloomy & seeming English wickets; which I am sure every team would have accepted gleefully.

bangladesh have a triangular series at that time in Ireland
 
I remember when they turned us down twice back in like 2012. I don't really think they'll agree this time either given there's a tight schedule as well.

Her whole family was killed by the Bangladeshi Army in 1974 as a result of a coup.

It had nothing whatsoever to do with Pakistan.

Wow nothing to boast about there buddy.
Ps - the same army which surrendered to the Indian Army :shezzy
 
I wonder if Bangladesh would have refused to tour us in 2006 too because that is exactly what the level of terrorism was in Pakistan in 2016. 2006 is also when England toured Pakistan.

Not to turn this into a political debate, but a read on Wikipedia mentions a lot of his own people were against his oppressive policies as well.

Pakistan at the time was going through major upheaval with the Bhutto mess, there was no time or will to meddle in Bangladesh. As relations improved that year since we recongised them.
 
I am upset with the PCB because they haven't invited Bangadesh to the UAE.

We have done really well in the last 2 years. Our cricket team is on the rise and Pakistan only invites us to the PCB. PCB haven't asked ECB, NZC, CSA yet but they keep nagging us to to tour Pakistan.

Although so far it is all invites and I feel that if the cricketers feel that its safe for them then by all means the tour should go on. If our players are against it, then so will I.

Its expensive to host in the UAE, if PCB could make money playing Bangladesh in UAE I am sure they would invite them to play. Its nothing to get upset about just pure business.

PCB will make more from one series against BD than combined series of WI, SRL & ZIM of same size in UAE, which includes a sell out gate. BD crowd don't need an Afridi to go to stadium for watching their team.

Besides, interns of revenue, these series might earn PCB from internal sources (PAK sponsors); a series against BD will give them earning in US dollar. You can check back who were the title & and major ground sponsors in NZ-BD & SRL-BD series. On top of that, PCB will sell the media rights to BTv or GTv, which isn't the case for other 3. That's a significant incitement in bidding price for competition.

That's where you are wrong

Bangladesh is more profitable than you think they are. There are hundreds of thousands of bangladeshis in the UAE. There are millions of TV audience who will watch the match. And our sponsors are willing to cover all the cost if they get the opportunity.

You will get 3 times more profit from hosting bangladesh than actually hosting a team like West Indies.

Infact BCCI too is keen to invite bangladesh more often especially for limited overs matches
 
It must also be highlighted that BCB is probably one of the current board which is earning a huge amount of revenue these days, nothing compared to BCCI but still plentiful. Obviously less than ECB or CA but here the value of currency is less so everyone gets my point
 
I don't think Bangladesh or anyone else will agree to play with fighter jets flying over their heads as was the case with the PSL final. PCB need to understand that no team will likely tour under these conditions with overwhelming security in place. This tells any touring side that Pak is still not safe enough to visit.
 
LAHORE: An offer got rejected on Sunday which was made by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to play two Twenty20s matches in Lahore.

The PCB chairman Shahryar Khan revealed in one of his statements that PCB had offered BCB to play two T20s in the middle of 2017 in Pakistan, but no positive response came from the other side.

According to details, it was made clear by the BCB spokesperson that Bangladesh has not even thought of coming to Pakistan.

The BCB is already to host Pakistan in July this year.

It is worth mentioning here that PCB had prioritized this tour, believing that it could pave way for the return of international cricket to Pakistan.

Cricket Australia has confirmed their Bangladesh tour with slight change of the date of second test. They will be arriving dhaka on 18th august this year. They had some security concern over touring Bangladesh but recent confirmation blows away the cloud over it. Good news for bd cricket.

This is petulance. Cancel all future tours with BD.

What do you want him to do? Stay quiet? He has to do this to bring cricket back.

Bangladesh has ISIS attacks and they are refusing to tour for 2 matches knowing full well that Pakistan's security is better than theirs.

They are playing politics. I would cancel all tours with BD, we don't need bilateral relations with countries like these.

We want to him to stop asking a nation who's PM hates our guts and who are India's lapdogs. Ask SL, or WI again.

I can't believe I am saying this :)) But I agree.
 
Here's a radical idea, how about we lay off on the home series for a bit eh?


We had a series of 10-11 bomb blasts just a month ago. Let that memory fade for a bit no? When there will be a period of a year or so without any incident then you can ask countries like BD and SL to maybe send their teams here.

Toh Sir Najam phir paisay kahan se khain ge? PSL abhi aik saal baad hai, tab taka kaha se khain paisay?
 
Obviously no int team will tour Pak till there is peace on a consistent basis instead of 4 peaceful weeks.
IF Pak really wants to build their relationship with BD then have them in the UAE for 3 ODI's and 2 T20's for two weeks. Not only are they a pretty solid OD unit but also interesting from a marketing perspective.

Once you have that then the BCB might consider more in the future (goodwill effect).

Totally make huge sence
 
I think we should not have any thing to do with Bangladesh under present government. BCB is just a puppet of BCCI under hasina's leadership
 
BD would probably destroy us in ODI's if we played them, I don't see any progress in the team since 2015.
 
Not surprising they don't want to come. Incompetent Pcb wasted so much money on zim tour and psl final. Any intelligent person could see that wasn't gona convince any teams...

Maybe he should try to use his brain for once? How does he expect Bangla to come when Bangla board don't like Pcb for not inviting them to uae and other issues. In the real world, throwing tantrums like cancelling all tours, etc can only have negative effects. U gotta be smart...
 
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.

After Misbah and YK , team is on right track.
