Given how desperate we were to get them to play in Pakistan, this would be the ideal time for asking BCB to send in their team to Pakistan.

Tamim Iqbal's experience could have been used for this purpose and I am sure the BCB would have agreed.

We keep on saying baby steps but we seem to be reaching for far too much. Bangladesh tour to Pak for a limited over series would have been ideal.

Why should there lives be any less valuable than anyone else?

Now they have an example to follow.

If others players get paid same amount, they should be able to come.
 
their big brother wont allow it. I'm sure they have to get special clearance first.

And what about the lives of World XI players?

TBH, PCB always wanted to invite BD to set an example and to show the world that Pakistan is not a war torn country. But now, World XI has set the example. Now PCB should invite teams like SA, Eng, Aus while teams like Ban, WI, Afg, Zim should come themselves. The equation should be clear to these teams that they will play Pakistan's home series in Pakistan. No question of UAE with these teams. And the bigger teams will eventually follow them after some time. Obviously, all this should happen after security clearance from ICC and guest team's board.
 
They have already rejected an invitation, maybe the successful World XI tour will change their mind but not all fussed if they don't come because we'v taken some baby steps which will encourage teams which are a bit more elite to come over inevitably.

Don't talk nonsense - you are aged enough in PP to understand what is what, unlike other kids here. Last time, big brothers didn't get the vote in their favor from BCB, whic cost them almost $200mn, though they did manage that from SLCB.

Problem is at PCB's end - tried to bullied BCB touring PAK as first team & to show their guts cancelled last tour of BD. I read stupid comments that PAK toured BD in 2015, which was PAK's home series, so it's turn for BD to tour - indeed, but for that BCB compensated PCB, something PCB is trying for a decade now from big brothers up to a begging level. On top of that, before PCB cancelling the tour, BCB was always ready to play PAK anywhere but PAK for obvious reason.

A BD tour in PAK was quite possible, sometimes between FEB-APR 2018 (And, BCB is among few boards who doesn't bother for IPL schedule - last time Shakib & Mustafiz were called back from IPL, for Ireland tour at the business end of IPL), but now it might happen that BCB will demand PAK to complete their commitment first, which was declined in July 2017 - and please don't come back after that, to tell another clearance requirement from big brothers.
 
No thanks they won,t come we have tried and they have declined twice

but if there players are paid by pcb they might come just like tamim did as he was paid handsome money .Bcb should have stopped tamim to play with world 11 due to security issues

Pakistan is frankly too scared to lose 3-0 again.
I want us to tour for ODIs and T20s. Dont care too much about Tests (accept that they are deemed #1 but find them a bit rubbish.

Going back to a previous post, which you can recall for sure - Bangladesh isn't a failed state - BCB can't stop any individual going to play even at Raqa or Mogadisu. What they can do is send a precaution notice, which they would have done had this tour not been cleared by ICC & FICA.

Don't spread hate, it doesn't help anyone. No BD regular national is hankering for that amount PCB paid - you could have understood that if you could have checked their Tax return file. Tamim went to PAK for a great cause from his good gesture - don't try to defame it indulging with money - if it's beyond your dignity to appreciate a Bangladeshi player, at least keep silent.
 
No..only India Australia England bring in the money for pcb in that order..that's why at every chance they get ,pcb tries their best to get BCCI to tour...
 
PCB isn't in favour with BCB at the moment. Very low chance of BCB agreeing to any sort of series against Pakistan.

This isn't about money, it is about getting teams to start touring Pakistan.
 
BD may have improved a little but they still don't have the star power to bring in big bucks when they tour...they don't excite sponsors or broadcasters or people to fill the grounds...

For example the current BD tour of SA is not expected to make goodmoney for SA...they are waiting for the big tours of India and Australia to rake in big bucks and profits..

so you are telling me tamim did visit pak for good gesture but if he is asked to tour again to same country with

50% less money will he ?if he was not paid handsome money he would not bother to come

and for bcb they can call back central contract player any time they want but due to huge amount they did not

bother to worry about the situation as they could not have compensate tamim

It's only a matter of time before teams like WI and SL tour pakistan...this world xi tour was simply to convince them...All these are baby steps to eventually get big teams to tour..PCB is doing the right thing..

Don't prolong silly arguments here - it's stupid to think what is the purchase value of a life risk, if applicable. It makes fool of someone putting % on the amount. In that regard, probably 5% will be enough to bring an entire Club team from BD at PCB's expense, but you have to think if it serves PCB's purpose or not.

Touring with "some country" isn't at the hand of the player. Almost every BD player will tour PAK, would have done so even in 2012, but BD as a National team has a policy of foreign tours, which couldn't beat the legal challenge in previous few times, won't do so in future either, unless PAK's status as a high risk country changes. I explained the situation in details last time, won't do this time, because as it looks, the problem is in basic comprehension skills.

Your thought process is running south - it's not BCB that's blocking players to tour PAK, otherwise Anamul won't have played PSL final, rather opposite. That W XI tour was to support PAK hosting games on own soil, facilitated by ICC & it's associate members. Had they wished, BCB could have blocked him without compensation, because the games were not exhibition matches, full T20I & BCB has the right to block any contracted player not to participate an International match for any other team.

You'll be stupid to think that BCB was sacred to pay $100,000, otherwise they would have blocked him if it was $50,000 - I can only suggest to grow up & do some home work on economic scales.

I am perfectly balanced & level headed, but won't tolerate rubbish. You have to prove the bold part, otherwise don't post rubbish. First it was BCB's incapability to pay out $100,000 ... now it's Tamim who couldn't resit $100,000 - fix your target first & then put words with logic, otherwise you won't get away with this cheap tactics used in your last line. I am not getting personal here - I am exposing some foolish comments, which were uncalled for to start with.
 
BD have time and again refused to come, so why should we keep inviting them?

Both BCB and PCB should take time to rejuvenate their relationship. It's better now to not invite bd but sl,wi and Eng. Later bd surely will go to Pak.
 
Bangladesh would need BCCI's approval - that's an open secret.

Also Pakistan isn't going to chase after a minnow.
 
Someone in BD will go to court and the team would not be permitted to fly to Pakistan. Happened last time. Don't think BD will tour Pakistan or UAE for a Pakistan home series in the next 15 years.
 
1. Don't need another minnow tour

2. In any case, they won't get permission from BCCI
 
The relationship between BCB and PCB is a bit frosty at the moment. Although if the PCB allows its players to play in the BPL, there might be a chance. But the BCB would most likely wait for SL and/or WI to tour first just as a matter of ego. The biggest factor may also be the PCB's decision to cancel a tour of BD without even notifying them of the cancellation. Highly doubt BCB would tour so soon after that rejection. They might wait a year or two by which time Pakistan may fall back into the abyss again.

The other issue is BCB don't have the time to fit in such a tour of say 3 T20Is. After the SA tour is the BPL, and after that is the home series with SL and ZIM, followed by that tri series in SL. That leaves April-May but BCB will use player fatigue as a reason not to tour, and PAK have a series in England.
 
BD would get swept aside in PAK.

They're good at home but I don't see them winning in Lahore/Karachi.

I think it's better to call SL, WI, and other teams.

Or even Afghanistan, they ranked higher than BD in T20 and they have some players I would like to watch, like Rashid Khan, no one in BD worth watching.
 
Errr.....Why are we even bothering with minnows ?? Good Riddance we're not on any terms with them at the moment ~ Would much prefer India, SL or heck even Ireland for that matter.

Absolutely !! The only time I ever cheer for India.... And this necessarily happened post-2015 when Bangladeshis forgot........... (You can fill in the blanks !!)
 
India Pakistan fan war is idiotic.

But when it comes to. Pakistan Bangladesh fan war, it goes down real ugly in a very short time.

I remember the last time. I hope it doesn't get repeated.

Instead of trying to spread hate and nonsense maybe be great full that each individual boards (be it bcb/ecb/etc) allowed their players to come to PAK to revive your own country's cricket. Seriously man, all your post related to BD/BD players are negative. Which Bengali girl broke your heart? ;)

Why do you guys always drag BCCI into this? India had nothing to do with PAK/BD feud. Seriously. I actually read up on why the tour got canceled. At one point, BCB even caved in but their supreme court stepped in and stopped the players from touring. It's about time you guys stop dragging BCCI into this Cancellation tour crap.

Australia haven't toured Pakistan since 1998, 10 years before the attacks on the Sri Lankan team. I don't think Australia has any interest to tour any time soon.
 
Relationships between the two aren't good at the moment which is a shame as I feel Bangladesh would come. Iqbal came for World XI and also as the players are same religion, share similar culture etc they may feel more comfortable in Pakistan. But I don't see a Bangladesh tour of Pakistan happening in the next couple of years at least which is frustrating as the games would be very close
 
Well obviously PCB does not want the bubble to burst. The phainty that the Pakistani team will receive will bring all their fans back down to earth.
 
I would rather the PCB build bridges with English Cricket Board, Cricket Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, West Indies than nobodies like Bangladesh who have stabbed us in our back so many times.

Agree. They have invited No.3 ranked T20 team for T20 series but they would not invite No.10 ranked T20 team for a T20 series because they fear that their bubble will burst. You are spot on.

I am Bangladesi but this was an epic burn.

WI are the best option. They are by far the best T20 side and T20 is the future of Cricket.

We can try knocking on West Indies door as well.
 
PCB has treated BCB with the kind of disdain that at least some or many upper class Pakistanis reserve for their servants.

They should be ashamed of their behaviour. Bangladesh deserves better treatment from us as a nation and cricketing fraternity.

I'd love to see the contest, and BANG could rout Pakistan in UAE and/or at home. That aside, BCB doesn't need PCB at this point to put up with poor treatment. Good on them. They're getting foreign nations to tour, and as we all know, have massively improved with skeletal resources.
