This is going to be another issue - Mario is the SRL guy, but apart from that entire support staff are from SENA countries, and they can’t be forced to travel to PAK. I think, eventually the series will be played in UAE, SRL or even BD. What I hear is that most players are looking at few seniors - Sak, Mush, Mahmood & Tammi - therefore if these players are willing, BCB probably can select a full squad, unless it’s legally blocked, but I didn’t think of this angle.

Its hard to imagine any team playing a test championship match without a full strength team.

Chances are that BCB will Likely say No. BCB has resentment against PCB due to hard line taken by Sethi.
Not Bangladesh, and for sure not against PAK. Full BD team can be routed by PAK (or IND), people will accept that; but if BCB sends just one compromised choice (replacement), and team loses on last ball ..... some BCB officials will lose their golden egg laying job. Hasina might call Papon to her office ... to slap with own hands.

Bangladesh team’s five South African members - coach Russell, pace bowling coach Charl Langeveldt, batting consultant Neil McKenzie, fielding coach Ryan Cook and newly named physio Julian Calefato is said to have informed their intention to the BCB
The majority of the Bangladesh cricket team coaching staff are likely to pull their names off from the Tigers’ scheduled tour of Pakistan in February next year.
The Tigers as per the Future Tours Program will play two Test matches and three T20Is against host Pakistan.
Media reports have revealed that head coach Russell Domingo and spin bowling consultant Daniel Vettori have shared their observations over traveling to Pakistan, a country that has been avoided by most cricketing nations due to security concerns since a heinous terrorist attack on the touring Sri Lankan cricket side back in 2009.
However, Bangladesh strength and conditioning coach Mario Villavarayan, a Sri Lankan, is not uninterested to tour Pakistan.
Bangladesh team’s five South African members - coach Russell, pace bowling coach Charl Langeveldt, batting consultant Neil McKenzie, fielding coach Ryan Cook and newly named physio Julian Calefato is said to have informed their intention to the BCB.
It is understood that team analyst Shrinivaas Chandrasekaran, an Indian citizen, will also be unavailable for the tour of Pakistan, along with spin bowling consultant Daniel Vettori, who joined the Tigers Friday.
"We are yet to have a formal discussion on this and when we have that, we can tell you more precisely about the whole situation," said BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury to the media Saturday.
BCB currently has its national women’s team and U-16 side touring Pakistan following clearance from the government on security arrangements.
However, women’s team head coach Anju Jain and her two colleagues, all hailing from India, refused to be part of the tour.
BCB is yet to take a decision on sending its men’s team to tour Pakistan.

BCB still undecided over Pakistan tour
https://www.dhakatribune.com/sport/cricket/2019/10/31/bcb-still-undecided-over-pakistan-tour
Bangladesh Cricket Board is yet to decide with regards to the national men’s team’s tour of Pakistan, scheduled for January next year.
BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury informed that a series of discussions involving the International Cricket Council and other authorities is required before coming to a decision on the tour.
Nizamuddin said a delegate team from Bangladesh government recently visited Pakistan for security assessment.
He added that they are yet to look into reports from Bangladesh High Commission and the security team.
“A government representative team visited Pakistan recently and based on their tour, we have sent our Bangladesh U-16 and national women’s team to tour Pakistan. However the factors of the men’s national team and others [age-level and women’s team] differ,” said Nizamuddin to the reporters at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka Thursday.
“We will look into the report from Bangladesh High Commission and from the team that have done the security assessment. We also need to speak to ICC because they sent a separate team to assess conditions because they have to assign match officials. We have to discuss with everyone before making a decision,” the BCB high-up added.
As per the ICC Future Tours Program, Bangladesh are slated to play host Pakistan in three T20Is and two Test matches, which will be a part of the ICC Test Championship.

So it seems that U16s and Women lives are judged on a different scale when it comes to security - strange logic!

It just seems that the BCB needs all the friends it can get with how things are at home right now. Especially since their age-group and women’s teams completed their Pakistan tours without any issues.

If women's team and U-16 team can visit Pakistan, men's team should have no issue. BCB is not being very logical here.
Women team is visiting without their coaching staff. Don't think that's possible for men's team - this is the support staff that must accompany team for a tour :
Head Coach: South Africa Russell Domingo
Batting Coach: South Africa Neil McKenzie
Fast Bowling Coach:South Africa Charl Langeveldt
Spin Bowling Coach: New Zealand Daniel Vettori
Fielding Coach: South Africa Ryan Cook
Strength and Conditioning Coach: Sri Lanka Mario Villavarayan
Team Physiotherapist: South Africa/Italy Julian Calefato
And, I believe they have appointed an Indian Data Analyst as well.
The mode now in BD is that, if BCB sends a compromised team, regardless of results, Papon will be in trouble. I don't see this series happening in PAK, though I am sure players won't mind travelling PAK.

The Saffers will be fine. I reckon Daniel Vettori would come too (after taking some advice from Brendon McCullum, Ronchi and other Kiwis who have come in the last couple of years).

It is because the women's cricket does not have much following (if there is any at all) . The security provided by Pakistan was also far less than the one given to Sri-lankan Men's team.
In a way lack of interest is a form of security itself.
When it comes to the more popular version than stakes get higher and so does the need for security.

BCB still waiting for authorization from BCCI.
PCB should cancel this tour. It wont make much money and it won't do anything to improve our chances to host the top cricket teams in the future.
PCB should concentrate on getting SL, SA and England to tour, which are looking more probable with time.

Bangladesh develop cold feet over upcoming Pakistan tour
Uncertainty looms over Bangladesh’s upcoming tour of Pakistan, with players and coaching staff unwilling to go for a full series there. Bangladesh are scheduled to play three T20 Internationals and two Tests in Pakistan in January. But according to a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) functionary, even if the tour takes place, it could be restricted to T20Is only. The prevailing uncertainty in this regard is the reason why BCB hasn’t released the tour itinerary yet.
“Players aren’t willing to go to Pakistan for a tour spanning over three weeks. The coaching staff have already expressed their disapproval. Three T20Is are OK, as the tour will finish in seven-eight days. But they don’t want to go there for 21 days,” the BCB functionary told The Indian Express.
The Bangladesh cricket team narrowly escaped the Christchurch mosque shooting during their tour of New Zealand earlier this year. It is learnt that they are very concerned about touring Pakistan, supposedly a high-risk country. Although the Bangladesh women’s team toured Pakistan in October-November for three T20Is and two ODIs, the men’s team is not keen to follow suit.
However, Bangladesh’s two Tests in Pakistan are part of the ICC World Test Championship and in case of forfeiture, they will lose valuable points. “If we don’t tour, that would be because of force majeure. We might request the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to host the series at a neutral venue. If it comes to that, we hope that the ICC would consider our case,” the BCB functionary said.
The International Tennis Federation recently shifted India’s Davis Cup tie, originally scheduled to be held in Islamabad, to Kazakhstan. Sri Lanka went to Pakistan for a cricket tour – three ODIs and three T20Is – in September-October alright, but their top players had pulled out. PCB is confident about hosting Sri Lanka for two Tests in December and have sent the itinerary to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC).
After the limited-overs tour, SLC chief Shammi Silva had spoken about how the Sri Lankan players felt stifled by the strict security arrangements. Citing this, the BCB functionary said: “It could be a big mental block for the players. Team hotel, team bus and match venues would be their routine. They won’t be allowed to go out. In such a scenario, it’s very difficult to stay there for so many days.”
For the last 10 years, the UAE has had been Pakistan’s home away from home. But last year, PCB and Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) were at odds over scheduling. It remains to be seen if PCB is willing to host the Tests against Bangladesh in UAE, should they be played at a neutral venue. It is learnt that PCB is considering Malaysia as a back-up venue for next year’s Asia Cup.

Once the sl test series done .i don't see any reason for bd denial for test series .
Without Shakib and Tamim, BD is a very weak Test team. Not sure if they will comfortable to tour Pakistan with such an inexperienced team.

Security risk obviously. A men's cricket team is more high profile and hence far more likely to be targeted. That said, if Sri Lanka tour is successful, they'll have very little ground to stand on
So if the woman team was attacked it wouldn’t make news? If there was an attack on the BD Women’s cricket team that would have been the end of cricket in Pakistan forever imo. If anything the woman tour would be a bigger target cause it would likely have less security but an attack would make the same level of impact.

Looks like Bangladesh isn't touring for test series but they may be able to tour Pakistan for the 3 t20s. It is annoying that Bangladesh doesn't intend on going to Pakistan for the full tour but I guess this would have likely happened in the first place due to the political issues etc. so having them tour Pakistan for the three t20s is better than nothing I guess, so I don't mind that.

Shakib is banned anyway.
No offence but we need teams like SA, England, Aus etc. to come to pakistan as their visit will hold more value than if Bangladesh visits us. So if Bangladesh doesn't come it's really not going to affect us in any way.
But I find it ironic that they are willing to send their women's team to Pakistan but are hesitant to send their men's. Are their women's lives less valuable than men's for them?

I don't understand why Bangladeshi fans are missing Shakib. He is banned for a good reason. Bangladeshis should thank their stars that he is banned.
They're missing him because he's needed in their team. Similar to how the Aussies were missing Smith and Warner.

I am just curious, after that sad attack in Christchurch where the BD team was a whisker away from harm, would the BD team ever tour Newzealand again? If the answer is yes, why not travel to Pakistan where they have never had security issues (plus where a lot of Bengladeshis still reside). If answer is no, would that mean they would not visit UK as well? and what about India? There has to be a line in the sand somewhere ..

Why can't Pakistan chose different venue other than UAE?
crap pitches, over the time players performance will deteriorate if they continue to play there.

BD consider it an honour to tour New Zealand, bombs going off in first world white countries don't count as danger.
Just look at a the statistics.
The big cities in Pakistan have faced barely any terror threats in 2019. Compare it to 2009 and it will seem like we're now Nepal 2.0. Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi have not had a major terror attack in a long time thankfully.
We're not telling them to play in Balochistan are we??
Our major cities are as safe as any other city in the Subcontinent.
But who are we kidding? The bangladesh cricket board are influenced by the BCCI so whatever decision BCCI wants them to take, BCB has to take whether they want to or not

Why have Bangladesh never gotten invited to tour the UAE?
Since the beginning of the UAE sojourn, the PCB have always treated the BCB in step-motherly fashion.

Why?
Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and West Indies have said no to Pakistan and yes to the UAE at several points during this decade, and the PCB has accommodated them.
What makes Bangladesh's case different?
What are you talking about?
They're not forcing Bangladesh to come. They're just asking them like they asked all the other boards. If they don't want to come to pakistan then we'll play them in the UAE. As for the UAE part, maybe Pakistan didn't want to. Like they've not played Zimbabwe in the UAE in recent times. The fact is that Bangladesh is a very weak test team and this results in them not being invited. When was the last time they were invited to Australia or England for a full fledged tet series?

Er no actions speak louder than words. The last time Bangladesh said no to Pakistan the series was cancelled altogether. The time before that, it was held in Bangladesh itself.
It's the PCB's decision, so be it. I was just curious as to why the UAE is a no go zone for Bangladesh, especially when Pakistan is hankering for all the cricket it can get to fill up the gaps in his schedule.
The tests that we are going to play against them next year will be played in the UAE if they are not played in Pakistan IIRC so I guess your argument falls apart right there.

Sri Lanka tend to suffer when they make friendly gestures towards Pakistan, bombs suddenly start going off for some reason. White countries are scared because they are all involved in wars in the region, West Indies are a wannabe first world nation so need to be seen to be on the same page.
Matches in the UAE are unsustainable anyway. Who is going to want to watch BD play against Pakistan? If they are going to play Pakistan it should be either in Pakistan or Bangladesh. If not, then they are well within their rights to stay away, they can play someone else instead.

According to a source in the PCB, Pakistan will not play any Tests offshore, and if Bangladesh forfeit the Test series, they will lose WTC points.
The BCB were sent a preliminary schedule 3 weeks ago. They sent their security delegation. They sent their women's team, their u16 team. They haven't formally communicated anything to the PCB.
Multiple teams and international cricketers have toured Pakistan, including Bangladesh internationals. Sri Lanka is playing a Test series in less than a month.
There is no logical reason to refuse. Especially since they will receive state-level security.

Also explains one of the reasons why Sheikh Hasina was in Kolkata to watch the pink-ball test.
Indians allegedly did something similar before the Sri Lanka series when a bomb threat came out of the Sri Lankan PMs office.

That's pretty rich coming from an Indian. Bangladesh played their first ever test in India in 2017. If Pakistan treats them in a step-motherly fashion then what of India or Australia who aren't even comfortable inviting them to Australia for a single test?
Even if Pakistan is behaving like this there's a history. Pakistan was one of the reasons Bangladesh got test status in the first place and it was Pakistan who invited them for a 3 match test series when no one wanted to play them except Zimbabwe. Has Bangladesh reciprocated in any way during Pakistan's time of need? Absolutely not. Rather Bangladesh seem more intent on taking directives from the Indian government. So I would say Pakistan is absolutely justified doing so.
And the reason Pakistan is talking tough to Bangladesh is because they can. This stuff would not fly with the Aussies, the English or New Zealanders and Bangladesh may still not agree to play in Pakistan or at all, but PCB, for all its weaknesses still has the power to talk down to the BCB.

1. The reason BD got test status is because of Jagmohan Dalmiya. And he was an Indian. Pakistan hardly enjoyed any power in ICC.
2.So you believe bangladedhis are inferior and pcb can talk down to them?

1. He was one of the reasons. Not the only reason. And contrary to what you are insinuating the ICC of yesteryear's was not an oligarchy where a select few had all the power. Other boards had much more space.
2. No need to twist words. I said nothing of the sort. All I said was that Bangladesh is not respected as a full-member nation and that is a fact. If they were they would regularly play series in England, Australia, South Africa and even India, which is supposed to be a great friend of Bangladesh. But the reality is that they haven't toured England in close to 10 years, Australia does not want to host them, they toured South Africa in 2017 after 9 years and and they played their first ever test match in India two years ago. I think that says alot regarding the standing of Bangladesh in world cricket.
You're comparing NZ's security with PAK's? Really bro ...
Still think so?
Bangladesh's test team is minnow level. They ain't winning against Pakistan especially in the UAE

1. He was the reason. He arranged the votes. Pakistan had little ability to get the votes in ICC. Infact in those days ICC was more like a oligarchy. Dalmiya had 6 votes in a nine member exex co and thats how he controlled the ICC. India Lanka Pakistan SA WI Zim were the permanent voters for Dalmiya. Aus Eng NZ were on the other side. You need to brush up your icc history.BD was not the first country Dalmiya helped get test status,another country was helped way back in 1991-92.
2. Very evident what you said. You believe that pakistanis can talk down to BCB.

These teams are not scheduled to tour Pakistan in the current Test Championship.
Sri Lanka just named a full strength Test squad to tour Pakistan. Are their lives cheaper than their western counterparts?

Then you'd reckon there is no reason why New Zealand, Australia and England wouldn't tour Pakistan?

BCB yet to take decision on Pakistan tour
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is yet to decide on the national men’s team’s tour of Pakistan in January-February next year.
BCB Chief Executive Officer Nizamuddin Chowdhury said the board is waiting for the report from Bangladesh government delegation that recently visited Pakistan to conduct a security assessment.
“The report is very important for us. We can only decide after receiving the security assessment. We are in constant communication with the Pakistan Cricket Board, but we will not tour if there is any risk for the cricketers,” BCB CEO Nizamuddin told the media Monday.
As per the ICC Future Tours Program, Bangladesh are slated to play hosts Pakistan in three T20Is and two Test matches, which will be a part of the ICC Test Championship.
In October and November this year, the Bangladesh national women’s cricket team and Bangladesh U16 boy’s team had traveled to Pakistan.
Pakistan is set to play its first Test match on home soil in more than a decade when it hosts the Sri Lankan cricket team for a two-match series in December. International cricket has been rare for Pakistan at home following the terrorist attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team bus in Lahore in 2009.
The PCB last week reiterated that they want the home series against Bangladesh to be played on Pakistan’s home ground, after the two scheduled Test matches against Sri Lanka.
The BCB had pressed for having only the T20I matches in Pakistan and the Test matches at a neutral venue. The PCB, however, did not agree as they believe this would negatively affect any future international and the Pakistan Super League T20.

BCB mull neutral venue for Pak tour
Amid continued uncertainty over whether the national team would get the security clearance to tour Pakistan in January-February 2020, the Bangladesh Cricket Board [BCB] are mulling whether to propose shifting the tour to a neutral venue if they do not get the green signal from the Bangladesh government.
According to the Future Tours Programme, Bangladesh are scheduled to play three T20Is and two Tests in Pakistan.
“If we get the clearance from the government, we can start discussions with the Pakistan board but we are yet to get the clearance. Everything will depend on what the government wants. We will definitely sit with the player to take their opinion as well if the government gives clearance for the tour,’’ BCB cricket operations chairman Akram Khan told reporters at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday.
A delegation from the Bangladesh government recently visited Pakistan for a security assessment and on the basis of that, the BCB had sent the national women’s team and the Bangladesh under-16 team to tour Pakistan earlier this year. The same delegation is to advise the Bangladesh government and the BCB on going ahead with the national team’s tour of Pakistan.
Akram said that there was a discussion about playing the Test and T20I series in separate segments, but the Pakistan Cricket Board [PCB] has already declined that proposal. According to media reports, the PCB believes that having a series split to two locations would have a negative impact on the host country in terms of hosting future international series and the Pakistan Super League T20.
“But if we don’t get the clearance from the government for any reason, we have to discuss playing at a neutral venue. If we get the clearance, then it will be different. So, at this moment, we have to wait on the security report from the government,” the former Bangladesh captain added.
The Bangladesh men’s team has not been given the green signal to travel to Pakistan since a terrorist attack in Lahore on the touring Sri Lankan national team’s bus in 2009. However, West Indies and Sri Lanka have visited for short tours, which included only ODI and T20I matches.
All eyes will be on the BCB now as Sri Lanka are set to tour Pakistan with a full-strength side for a Test series this month.
Akram however informed the government approval will have nothing to do with other teams touring Pakistan.
“Who is going there is not the issue for us. If we get the clearance from the government, we’ll think about the tour. As I said earlier, at this moment we are waiting for the government’s suggestion,” he concluded.
Since the Bangladesh players were in the vicinity of a terrorist attack on a mosque in Christchurch in March this year, the BCB have started sending a security team before touring any country.

Oh please. Usually I try not to get mad.ablut Bangladesh and try to understand them. But this is annoying me. If Sri Lanka test tour goes well there is no reason for Bangladesh not to accept.

Lankans take their own decisions. BD will take its own.
Just because X will come, doesnot mean Y too has to come.
Sri Lanka makes its own decisions? Of course.
Bangladesh makes its own decisions?
