Pak turns down offer to tour Bangladesh in October

Islamabad, July 06: Pakistan has turned down an offer from Bangladesh Cricket Board to play the postponed one-day series between the two countries in October.

Bangladesh were to host Pakistan for five one-dayers and a Twenty20 international in March but the series had to be postponed due to security concerns.

“Bangladesh could not host us in March due to non clearance from their government but now they invited us to schedule the series in October which is not possible for us,” a senior official of the Pakistan board said today.

He said PCB had asked their Bangladeshi counterparts to find a window in Future Tours Programme for the series at some other time as Pakistan would play New Zealand in October.
