The Pakistan Cricket Board decides NOT to tour Bangladesh!

But Bangladesh folks look at Bangladesh with high regards. Even Pakistan too who are not doing too well.

So this means sponsor from.bangladesh will be many in number

not sponsor. Broadcasting is the major buck maker here
 
It's a bit unfortunate, would rather have a series as they have improved a lot.

Anyway I hope they can reschedule later in the year.
 
Pakistan's loss

It is not Bangladesh's fault that Pakistan is not safe for Cricket.

Bangladesh did not boycott Pakistan in bi-laterals like India. They have valid reasons to not visit Pakistan.

Pakistan can't play against India and now they do not want to play against Bangladesh. Good luck playing boring series in the UAE against WI and SL and then touring Zimbabwe.
 
Pakistan will not tour Bangladesh this year as per schedule; the PCB said the series has been postponed indefinitely by mutual consent. Pakistan was to play two Tests, three ODIs and a T20I series in Bangladesh in July and August.

"We had spoken about the possibility of hosting them [Bangladesh in Pakistan] this year," said PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan. "Pakistan have now toured Bangladesh twice without them reciprocating, and we feel we cannot tour Bangladesh for the third straight time. Therefore, we have decided to postpone the tour, and will explore another window in the next year or so."

It is understood the Pakistan board feels that hosting teams like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in the UAE - its adopted home - is not financially viable.

Even though it can be argued that the above stance is hypocritical and simply a ploy to put pressure on BCB to send their team to Pakistan, I see some sense it.

Sure Bangladesh are developing into a strong team and for the average Pak or Bang fan it would be an exciting series to watch. However, as far as PCB are concerned - they have toured Bangladesh a couple of times and by touring them a third time PCB really has nothing to gain and everything to lose as far as World Cup qualification is concerned so makes sense to postpone the tour.

As far as the series in the UAE is concerned - fans don't even come to watch the big teams play VS Pak so getting people through the gate for a game VS Bang will be near impossible - I know that sounds harsh but it's the facts. I can also not imagine many TV channels or sponsors desperately wanting to be involved with a Pak v Bang series in the UAE, whilst hosting a series in UAE is really expensive business
 
Good decision by the PCB. Another whitewash would have meant Pakistan's shot at direct qualification for the World Cup would be all but over. PCB should look to schedule more series against this West Indies 'C' side.
 
Pakistan should play a full series against Bangladesh but at neutral venue.

Bangladesh isn't like England or Australia, it has it's fair share of lunatic extremists and many have anti-Pakistani feelings. Security would have been high anyway. So a fair decision.

Extremely stupid decision , bangladesh didnt decline touring UAE. This will have dire repercussions in future for pakistan. These senile old men cant put a foot right,

There will be no consequences at all.Pakistan should not play any cricket with India and Bangladesh.Pakistan should try to arrange more matches with New Zealand,Australia,England and South Africa.The wickets have pace and bounce in these countries.Pakistani batsmen need to improve their batting technique.
 
Playing against BD is no fun anyway. If they win they think they have won the world cup and if they lose they cry like no tomorrow.

We should arrange a series with some real team who can take victory or defeat like men.
 
Executioner said:
Yes because Bangladesh players lives are much less worth than that of players from western countries.

Bangladeshi players are obliged to risk their lives and your Pakistan but teams like England Australia SA need not. Intact no need to ask them even and allow these teams to play in the UAE but no not Bangladesh.

Oh please don't talk about how your team let us win the match in the 99 world cup. ICC wanted to induct Bangladesh in the test arena because of immense cricket crazy population. And if they really let us win stop talking about how it was a gift to Bangladesh and focus upon how corrupted your cricket team is.

England and SA are competitive teams.... Bangladesh will get trashed in UAE tests.... There is nothing in it for PCB to organize a match against minnows in UAE... Pakistan hasn't invited Zimbabwe to UAE either, remember....

Nobody will watch boring trashing=no revenue=lost money for PCB due to high cost of organizing in UAE.

Why not?

Even though I feel Pakistan will easily beat Bangladesh in a test series and win the ODI series, Bangladesh has come a long way and deserves a full series against Pakistan.

With Pakistan not playing India and Sri Lanka becoming a poor team, a rivalry with Bangladesh could emerge.

Bangladesh fans have a lot of passion, it would be great for them to watch a 3 test, 3 ODI and 3T20 series against Pakistan. PCB and BCB should both mature and come to an agreement,

Debatable, but I won't go to that, don't think you are in the mood of accepting logic.

However, 142 posts in 2.5+ years suggests that you don't visit PP frequently; otherwise you could have read some of my posts on MoHa the ODI all-rounder, MoHa the player in Asia, MoHa the cricketer in his early 30s - those were a bit serious post actually.

Since you have joined PP - he had been banned from bowling for chucking, then he is making his way in all 3 teams with his "tremendous" ability of bowling 15 overs in a Test as all-rounder & SR of 60 forr first 35 balls in PP, he is standing at 1st slip with 50% drop rate, he is batting in top 3 for LO with a 75 SR in ODI, he is a Category A player without performance & now at 40 he is trying to cement his place for next few years - may be a little bit of fun he also deserves.
 
It's a great day for Cricket actually - for the first time, Cricket world has taken a bold step against a tyrant. Right, wrong, sustainable ... I don't know, but at least 9 other boards got united against one bully & resist their individual gain, for a collective bargain; probably for the first time in history any voting was such one sided.
.
.
.

The same day, PCB decides to start another battle field - this was the biggest asset of Big 3, this'll be the biggest bargaining tool for BCCI as well : Incompetence of other boards.

PCB has decided to postpone the tour, which is fine - 3 ODI in July is absolute rubbish idea. But, if I were BCCI, I would have agreed to sent a reserve team to Dhaka for 3 T20s in that period & watch the fun - how to disintegrate any opposition .............

Good job PCB - great, moral win.

Debatable??? Please find a Bangladeshi player with average of 40 with the bat and 34 with ball with great timing like Hafeez after Shakib.... Shakib is great player, other players can't tie Hafeez's shoe..... Bangladesh would kill to have Hafeez.... In year 2011-2014, he was best all-rounder in the world, backbone of Pakistan team....

Don't burn my friend.... I told you many months ago that this wasn't happening but you were and still being delusional.

I know it's hard for you as Bangladesh supporter but if you could try to snap out of your delusional grandeur, why you think bcci is going to take you seriously after this vote? Besides, your vote doesn't matter anymore and therein your importance to bcci vanishes with it.
 
I am glad Pakistan has done that. Now BD you are the big boys should not be worried about this.

I am not burning at all - dealing with PCB is exactly like dealing with North Korea - you are always in risk, be friend or enemy. Most of the PAK posters who thinks that BCB are BCCI's bunny are the biggest delusional people here - BCB is the only Asian board,which can survive well without BCCI. Obviously, be part of a larger basket is always beneficiary, therefore BCCI comes & that's true for ECB & CA as well. The amount of effort PCB gives to get a positive smile from BCCI, even fraction of that could have made this PAK Cup far, far great.

What is going to happen forward is that, PAK is bringing one more competitor for the limited window that BCCI leaves for other countries. Financially, neither PCB or BCB can't buy out schedule from top teams, from BCCI (BCCI, because our cricket season over laps), add to that IPL, BPL, PSL - now try to find 2 months window for AUS, ENG, SAF, NZ to play against PAK/BD. PAK is in far more difficult corner, because of Indian boycott. For last 6 years, PAK has managed one tour in each of this countries & a return tour for couple of Tests - add BD in that basket going forward.

For the BCCI part, you misread my post - idea isn't love for BD, but just to give the idea, get away from PAK, money is sweet. SRL, AFG will also be in that equation, while non Asian teams are already far away - PCB is just digging own hole from ego. Why BD won't tour PAK, probably many PAK posters here can explain you better, I understand why not in UAE - but, it's always win-win, playing cricket, any where, as long as TV money is there & there is an understanding of the share .......

I don't want to explain further on the relationship of BCCI, PCB, BCB, ACB & SLCB (And the National policy), what's the long term strategy/goal, whose who or how the financials related here - only I can say that, PCB is foolish - PAK as a nation, didn't learn anything from 1971 - still trying to find out, who stole my cookies.

poor decision - we need good will from other boards.

I would rather play Bangladesh than SL or WI these days.
 
PCB played it wrong. Only PCB possess those unique skills of displeasing other boards over "NOTHING" issues. Why Force Bangladesh only to tour Pakistan? Why can't we have a same stance against Australia,England or India?

And Bangladesh is by no means a are a minnow side. They are not world beaters but they are not as bad as pp'ers here are portraying them.

BTW Shakib is ten times better than Hafeez (As a Batsman, as a fielder and of course as an all rounder).
 
I just came back after spending two weeks in Pakistan, mostly at Lahore. I know I'm just an ordinary citizen and not a team member but the impression I got during that time, there is really no security issue at Lahore at all.
If BD send their security expert, they will not find any reason not to tour Pakistan, but I guess they feel pressure from their big brother not to do that.

I guess you missed the episode of BD siding with the other boards and not standing beside IND recently during voting? It's all over cricinfo news. Might want to give it a read.
 
Poor decision. So now we don't play with India and Bangla. Objectively, it sounds pretty ridiculous harassing one out of ten guys to do something none of them want to do. If u want people to do something, you have to make then want to do it. Make good relations and they will WANT to help you. Bullying like this only works in elementary school. Astonished at some posters thinking Bangla being minnow for so long somehow makes them inferior. Same mentality as racism, sexism, etc. Toxic

True it's being overblown but I still think Pakistan isn't ready to host international cricket yet. Give it a few years



Here is where you misunderstood me. Bangladeshi sponsors will pay PCB to advertise their companies. Billboards on the stadium. You get what I mean. Even Lanka series in Lanka had 50% sponsors from Bangladesh.



But BCB is anything but anti Pakistani. BCB always maintained friendly relationship with all board regardless of political affiliation. But

PCB has got major support from BCB. More than you think

As a fan I want relationship between two boards to be healthy. Frankly PCB is not thinking about BCB's interest.

This is exactly what we feel when it comes to PCB vs BCCI. But I feel in current situation it's more of a give and take kind of scenario. BCB refused to tour Pakistan; just to play a few T20, in this hour of need especially when PSL final was conducted with foolproof security. And everybody knows that the final decision not to tour Pakistan was made by the government rather than the BCB. And know how can the Pakistan government give permission to PCB for the Bd tour when your government is signing billions dollar defense deals with india

If you can invite WI and SL to UAE, you can invite BD. There's hardly millions watching us play vs WI and SL.

This is all about trying to force BD to tour Pakistan.

Obviously a tour to Pakistan would be beneficial for us but forcing other boards to tour won't work.

Nevertheless, interested to see where this goes.

It won't go any further. BCB are not in the mood of requesting PCB this time or may be ever.

Sadly every words you said is correct. Friendship can do miracle and bullying only mess things up
 
This is a sad sad decision.

Initially, posters here would remember I was in favor of having a hard stance. But, bullying smaller boards isn't going to earn you any friends.

Just go and play there, then try to invite one more time.

BD posters, let's just chill and don't take it too seriously.
 
I kinda get what [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] is trying to say and quite frankly anyone who actually LIVES in Pakistan or interacts with people from there will have the same mindset.

My own kid brother who's around 12-14 (the new generation) thinks that BD are a minnow and he doesn't even remotely have a clue of the drubbing WE LOT have seen for the last 15 years; match after match.

I am glad that this tour is not taking place, for other reasons though and in case my Bangladeahi friends still haven't got the gist of the argument I am gonna spell it out for them :)

'PLAY US IN PAKISTAN OR WE WILL NOT TOUR YOU !!'

These are the terms we offer, If you think you can accept these by all means we can discuss a tour however if not then I am afraid we all can go along our merry ways. No need to get offensive or angry, this is how it is......

Any Bangladeshi who might have contacts in BCB can screen shot this small message to your officials for better understanding,.....

Don't worry friend. Nobody takes PCB seriously for their school boy type behaviour.
 
Good decision by PCB. We can't keep touring them and not expect a home series in return.
 
Ah.

Not sure what's worse.

The pathetic bullying by the PCB?

Or the level of entitlement that Bangladesh must tour, particularly when no one else will mull the idea over.

If this is such a sticking point of principle, why haven't they tried this glorious trick with Australia or England? Or any international team besides Zimbabwe?
 
If PCB want BD to tour Pakistan than sorry. We will never risk our lives just to play Pak. I see regular unfortunate attacks in Pak. What happened with SL team may also happen with us? Try calling West Indies, SriLanka; they will all give same reason.

A tour to UAE is more justifiable. Yes Pak toured BD twice in a row. Now its BD's turn to tour UAE or SL.

As a pakistani fan, I can understand where PCB is coming from but i dont agree with their decision.

It would have been much better to invite Bangladesh to Dubai or Sri Lanka and play the series there. And then as a bonus, check with them if they would be willing to come to Pak for one ODI or T20. That would have been a far better approach.

I still maintain that the first team to tour pak will be either Bangladesh or SriLanka. For the reason that both have experienced terrorism and would be more understanding to the problems PCB is facing. So it is best to work with BCB and SCB rather then postpone indefinitely.

Plus, Tamim, Shakib, musharafe and Fizz are a delight to watch. Cant wait to see them play against pak.
 
Pcb : we don't mind losing money hosting England, Australia, South Africa: at least our rankings will improve
Pcb : we will lose money hosting BCB and it won't help our test ranking, so to make it work financially we want BCB to tour Pak.

Pakistan and India are so uncannily similar at the moment. BCCI is bullying the ICC by refusing to go to England for the Champions Trophy and Pakistan is bullying Bangladesh by refusing to go to Bangladesh and play a series.

Stop with these strawman comparisons. Have Bangladesh lost tens of thousands of civilians due to terrorism in the last ten years ?

Is Bangladesh military actively conducting combat operations in their own territory with the deployment of thousands of troops ? Are they bordering a war-torn country like Afghanistan which has presented a major security threat to Pakistan since 1979 ? Has Bangladesh experienced the frequency of terror attacks in major cities as Pakistan ?

The answer is NO to all questions. Get real. We are NOT entitled to any charity from BCB because they're our "Muslim brothers" or Asian brethren or because we helped them to Test status in the 90s.

And its TRULY laughable to think we're entitled to a tour from Bangladesh because they were a minnow in the past. Since when does ICC rankings determine whether a board puts their own players' lives at risk by proceeding with such a tour ?

Ireland rejected a series in Pakistan in 2014 but that's OK because Western lives aren't as disposable as Asian lives ?

Pakistan postpones Bangladesh tour

KARACHI: Pakistan's cricket chief said Thursday that a scheduled visit to Bangladesh this summer has been postponed for at least a year after the Bangladeshis refused to reciprocate the tour because of security fears.

Pakistan was due to play two Tests, three one-day internationals and a Twenty20 match in Bangladesh in July and August.

But the militancy-wracked country has been forced to host most of its matches overseas after an attack on the Sri Lankan team in 2009, barring a limited over series against Zimbabwe in 2015.

Security has improved over the past two years and some foreign players have tentatively endorsed returning.

But cricket chief Shaharyar Khan said Bangladesh had turned down the invitation.

He told AFP he had spoken to Bangladesh cricket board representatives on the sidelines of an International Cricket Council meeting in Dubai, and "decided to postpone the series for one or two years".

"But we will definitely play them," Khan added.

"We toured Bangladesh in 2012 and 2015 without Bangladesh reciprocating so we hope they will discuss further and find a solution," he said.

When Pakistan last toured Bangladesh in 2015 they demanded a share of the revenue, and were reportedly paid $325,000 by the hosts.

Since the suspension of international cricket Pakistan have been forced to play all their home series in the neutral venues of the United Arab Emirates.

But the successful staging of the Pakistan Super League in Lahore in March has boosted long-held hopes of bringing the sport home to the cricket-obsessed nation.

The Pakistan Cricket Board sees a World XI tour of the country in September for a short Twenty20 series as another positive step.

"Some progress has also been made on the World XI tour and we hope that that tour will further help us in reviving international cricket in Pakistan," said Khan.

Ofcourse. But I hope PCB realized they can't force us either.

And if they do then treat every other team the same. Right now BCB is in a better position than PCB is and no need to be a genius to Understand that but don't get why PCB is bullying us.
 
Its a fair decision. Reality is, we already played with them two times at their home. Last time, it was technically our home series, in which we only got 30% of profits as opposed to a greater percentage.

They have a few exciting cricketers but are still largely unmarketable. No one really knows them other than Shakib. Its not viable to host them in the UAE just for the sake of hosting them, it is a money losing venture.

Ideal scenario would be to host the series in Sri Lanka. But then greedy BCCSL and BCCI number 1 c hamcha would likely want a large cut, again, likely making the series uneconomic. Or, you do it in Sri Lanka and have a expense sharing agreement with BCB, which they won't agree too. Hence, again, we are in no need to host them for the sake of hosting them. Or BCB propose a better profit sharing agreement if the series is in Bangladesh (cause according to posters above, they so marketable and can make so much money in Bangladesh).

It is an unfortunate situation but one where I think BCB needs to give a little to make it happen if they want it. This series should not go ahead if it does not make economic sense for either board.

(Edit: Dear Admins, c ham cha is not a bad word lol, its an urdu word for spoon)

Not a matter of bully. We won't make any money. We will lose money. On top of that, if BCB wants us to come, then atleast do a 50/50 split of the profits. How is it fair, we tour you again and only get 30%. Then invite another team and have such an arrangement and see if they bite.
 
If we're doing this just because Bangladesh didn't come to Pakistan, this is disappointing. Yeah maybe some Bangladesh officials made promises or suggestions that would happen, but it's obvious that Pakistan has problems at the moment and quite a few of the Bangladesh players were opposed to touring Pakistan for safety reasons.
 
We need more test matches especially to rebuild after the double Retirements. An easy series will be good so new combinations can be experimented with. PCB is just being silly.
 
Some poor posts deleted - any more and bans will follow.
 
Should have done this before instead of dragging this far. By acting beggar or too good is useless. Any other board will take more strong steps. We should do same thing with India as well. If they don't want to play bi-lateral series with us then we should not play with them in the ICC tournaments as well. Lets ICC and BCCI loose money and then it will teach them lessons.
 
Glad there is finally an ending to this drama. I do not think it makes any sense for Pak to play its home games in BD or Sri Lanka.
 
Bangladeshi fans getting hurt and all should realize that playing their country in the UAE brings $0 to PCB. PCB will pay more for hotel costs and ground fees than the revenue this series will bring. It's a no brainer really...

Then why ask us tour Pakistan? Are there no hotels left in your country?

The cheaper accomodations would be offset by security costs for a tour of 2 tests and 3 ODIs. So PCB is full of gobor in this regard Im afraid. UAE would be cheaper unless of course the PCB is planning to not provide the security they are promising.
 
Great decision. We don't gain anything by playing a second rate side by Bangladesh. Our attitude of over respecting other countries must also be put to an end. Treat them as they treat us especially if it means poorly.
 
We need to build relationships both Pakistan and Bangladesh and unite against a common enemy which is India. NOt sure why we are bickering like kids here both bd and Pakistan while India is just progressing in every aspect and im not just talking abt cricket in general...

Pakistan does not outsource the security so I'm sure the cost isn't in the tens of millions..plus with a home series, Pakistan will have greater viewership and games will be a sell out...something that doesn't happen in the UAE regardless of what team Pakistan plays.

Bangladeshi fans are way too soft and get offended at everything. To defer this tour is not a slap to the Bengalis but rather to not make a horrid financial decision.

Revenue is not generated by crowds in stadiums. That only generates minor revenues. Full revenues are generated by TV rights, sponsorship, etc.

BD vs NZ series was broadcasted by ESPN even in USA.

NZ is a far better ODI side than Pak.
