BCB Seeks Government Help For Security On Tour Of Pakistan: Report
The Bangladesh Cricket Board: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has formally requested the Bangladeshi government to provide a security consultant for their upcoming tour. Bangladesh is set to visit Pakistan on August 17 for a two-match Test series, part of the ICC Test Championship, with matches scheduled in Rawalpindi from August 21-25 and Karachi from August 30 to September 3, says a report.
Historically, international teams have expressed concerns about touring Pakistan due to the country's volatile political climate. However, the BCB’s decision to proceed with the tour comes after receiving assurances of state-level security from Pakistani authorities. This assurance has been a crucial factor in securing the tour, as stated by BCB cricket operations Chairman Jalal Yunus.
"Providing safety is up to them (Pakistan), and we are going there because they assured us of state-level security. After they gave us these assurances, the tour was confirmed," said Jalal Yunus as quoted by Cricbuzz.
