President of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), Mustafa Kamal, has denied that he committed to Bangladesh’s tour of Pakistan in return for Pakistan Cricket Board’s support of his vice-president candidacy for the International Cricket Council (ICC).
“No that is absolutely incorrect. I can’t get the vice-presidency with Pakistan’s support only. I need endorsements from at least 7 of 10 full members of the ICC to acquire the important office,” said Kamal, on a private television channel.
Bangladesh were scheduled to play one One Day International and one Twenty20 match in Lahore at the end of April. However, the tour was postponed after Dhaka High Court issued a stay order due to which the BCB postponed the trip.
According to the petition filed in the Dhaka High Court, Kamal had committed to the tour without the permission of the relevant authorities.
Speaking after the tour was postponed, Kamal said that his sincerity should not be doubted.
“PCB and BCB are striving hard for the betterment of cricket in the region, and I hope the bilateral cooperation will continue,” he added.

Why Bangladeshi Goverment is Making BD an Indian Province?
Everybody knows that PCB had been burning midnight oil, for the last few months, to successfully materialize the planned tour of BD cricket team to Pakistan. In this regard, the BCB chairman's statement speaks for itself, that he was fully satisfied with the proposed security plan for BD team, after personally viewing all the security arrangements, for matches in Karachi and Lahore. Now to put blame of all this fiasco on PCB is not only unfair, but harsh, as well.
let me take the cat out of the bag, to tell the whole world, the real story of this botched attempt, to revive the international cricket in Pakistan, is as below.
Current Bangladeshi Rulers Are Hell Bent On Making It Another Province of India?
Actually, Pakistan is not hurt by the cancellation of the visit of the BD cricket team. The matter of extreme grief and shock was that BD government and the cricket board, first created a hype and then reneged on their promise, as if, they wanted to punish Pakistan, for its crime of helping BD, get the Test status.
Nevertheless, Pakistan will emerge even a stronger team in the coming days, but very soon, BD will rue it's decision, of cheating Pakistan in such an unbecoming manner. BD should have had the guts, in the first place to say no, rather than backing out at the eleventh hour. Compared to the BD government, even Indians are better, that they have the guts, to say no.
One thing is confirmed now, that BD is surely a paper tiger. There was no need for such an intrigue, in saying no for the tour. BD had been toeing the line of Indian lobby, without realizing that India always treated BD like minions. BD has never been invited by India for a cricket series, since they got Test status, that too, courtesy Pakistan.
We know very well, majority of the BD people love Pakistan and wanted the tour to go ahead, but the people at the helm of the government in BD, are known stooges of another country and never leave any doubt with their uttering and acts against Pakistan, to prove to their masters, that they are worthy puppets. Another recent example is, when BD told EU, that they have objections to Pakistan getting tax free access to EU countries, for two years. We also knew at that time, from where BD was speaking on this issue.
Any way, we still wish good luck to BD and it's great people, as they have been made a stooge of India, not by the choice of it's people but by the intrigues of it's traitor rulers.
Come on BD, enough is enough, stand up and behave like a sovereign nation and at least pretend that BD is not another province of India.
For Pakistan, world will see very soon, teams stronger than BD will be visiting here, sooner than later.
