Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Zaka Ashraf on Tuesday revealed that the Bangladesh government has given a green signal to its cricket team to visit Pakistan this coming April. Talking to journalists on the sidelines of the Benazir Bhutto Women’s Cricket Challenge Trophy’s final here at the Gaddafi Stadium, Zaka said that his first priority was to see international cricket returning to Pakistan and Bangladesh has agreed to visit here in the coming April.
Although the Bangladesh government gave a go ahead to its team to tour Pakistan, their recce team will still visit Pakistan to assess the security situation. The development came after the PCB told the International Cricket Council that it intends to host a Test series in April to revive international cricket in the country. International cricket teams have been reluctant to tour Pakistan since the 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore.
Ashraf informed the ICC did not voice reservations over sending officials for the upcoming Pak-Bangladesh cricket series possibly to be set in April, adding the world cricket body wants a boost to sports in Pakistan. The board chief said negotiations with other countries besides Bangladesh for Pakistan visit, are in progress. Earlier, the BCB had confirmed that its team will be touring Pakistan in April.“All those things that you must have seen, they are over now,” he said. “That’s why we want to reorganise cricket and bring it back to Pakistan.”
Cracking through England's defenses and winning the first test inside of three days, was the best news and views in a along time. But the Bangladesh Government giving the go ahead is really heartening news. In fact, it will be wonderful to see a cricket match on our own home turf and Inshallah the security committments will be faithfully implemented without any 'nakhras.' Congratulations to PCB and Mr. Zaka and Salams to Pakistan
The exemplary decision of Bangladesh Cricket Board to send their cricket Team on a tour to Pakistan to play a series of matches in April is indeed noteworthy.Bangladhesh tour of Pakistan will undoubtedly contribute to emergence of confidence in the Pakistani security apparatus that will in turn encourage the other countries also to send their cricket Teams to Pakistan.Such tours will not only boost the domestic cricket in Pakistan but also bound to bolster the International cricket.
