Pak set to host international cricket after three year hiatus | | Pakistan is set to host international cricket after a three year hiatus with Bangladesh agreeing to play
two matches in the country this month. Both the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have agreed to the two-match itinerary and
tabled their proposal to the ICC executive board. The International Cricket Council
has requested the PCB to provide them with details of the security arrangement
details for the proposed one-day match on April 29 and the Twenty20 encounter
on April 30. "The ICC Board were informed today that the Bangladesh Cricket Board
(BCB) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have agreed the Bangladesh tour of Pakistan
will take place and will involve one One-Day International and one Twenty20 International
to be held in Lahore," the Daily Mirror quoted an ICC statement, as saying. "The
ICC Board, having due regard to its duty of care to match officials and other
ICC staff, requested that the PCB to immediately provide a comprehensive security
plan for consideration,” he added. BCB President Mustafa Kamal welcomed the agreement
between his board and the PCB. "The public of Pakistan have been deprived of cricket
and we felt that we needed to support them. The reception we received when we
toured Lahore and Karachi on our security visit was overwhelming,” he added. No
full-member international side has toured the country since a terror attack on
a Sri Lanka team bus in March 2009 that killed six police officers and a driver
besides injuring several players and officials.
