Bangladesh clears Pakistan tour
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has received government approval to proceed with the national team’s five-match T20I series in Pakistan, scheduled to commence later this month.
Farque Ahmed, the president of the board, confirmed the development to the media.
This decision follows a period of uncertainty due to recent tensions between India and Pakistan, which had previously led to the postponement of both the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
According to BCB president, while the government has given the green light, the board is still awaiting the official letter to finalize the tour.

He said the importance of ensuring the safety and comfort of players and coaching staff before making a definitive decision.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has proposed a revised itinerary, with the series set to begin on May 27 in Faisalabad and conclude on June 5 in Lahore.
The adjustments were made to accommodate the resumption of the PSL, which is slated to restart on May 17.
Despite the government’s approval, some Bangladeshi players have expressed reservations about traveling to Pakistan, citing security concerns. The BCB has said that it will not compel any player to participate and will engage in discussions with the squad to address their apprehensions.
