BCB cancels Pakistan tour

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has decided not to send its team to Pakistan on security ground.
Tigers were scheduled to play a T20 and a one-day international with Pakistan team on January 12 and 13 respectively.
"Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has already sent a letter to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in this regard," BCB President Nazmul Hassan Papon told reporters during a press briefing at Ruposhi Bangla Hotel in the capital on Monday afternoon.
"The security situation of Pakistan has remained unchanged. So, considering the prevailing situation, we decided not to send Bangladesh cricket team to its January tour," Papon said.
If Bangladesh had agreed for the visit, it would have been the first one by any country since armed militants attacked the Sri Lanka cricket team bus in Lahore in 2009.
Eight Pakistanis were killed and six Sri Lanka players wounded when a dozen of gunmen fired on their coach as they were being driven to the Gaddafi stadium.
Earlier, the BCB had postponed the national team's Pakistan tour in April this year following a High Court stay order on the tour for four months.
