Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan said on Tuesday that they thanked PCB for understanding their position regarding the upcoming tour of Pakistan.
The Pakistan Cricket Board on Tuesday announced that Bangladesh will complete their upcoming tour of Pakistan in three legs.
The announcement removes all the uncertainty regarding Bangladesh’s upcoming tour of Pakistan as both boards were unable to come to a consensus regarding it that started after Bangladesh refused to stay there over seven days time.
The latest iterinary suggest that Bangladesh will stay there for a span of seven-day while Nazmul added that they have tried to show respect to the Future Tour Program of ICC.
“I must thank the PCB for understanding our position. We are pleased that a mutually acceptable resolution has been reached and this is a prime example our sincere efforts at respecting the ICC FTP commitments,’’ said BCB president on Tuesday.
The visitors are scheduled to visit Pakistan in January-February for a full-fledged tour comprised with two Test and three T20’s but doubts were raised about its future before the International Cricket Council Chairman Shashank Manohar in Dubai solved the matter on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the revised arrangement, Bangladesh will play three T20Is in Lahore from 24-27 January.
They will return to Pakistan for the first ICC World Test Championship fixture, to be held from 7-11 February in Rawalpindi.
Post the HBL Pakistan Super League 2020, which concludes in Lahore on 22 March, Bangladesh will visit Pakistan again and will play an ODI in Karachi on 3 April and second ICC World Test Championship fixture from 5-9 April.
