Uncertainty Looms Over Bangladesh Men's Cricket Tour of Pakistan Amid Civil Unrest

The Bangladesh senior men's cricket team's two-Test series against Pakistan is uncertain due to civil unrest in Bangladesh following the ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation. With the arrival of the Bangladesh A team delayed, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) offered to host and accommodate the Bangladeshi team but has yet to receive a response.

The Bangladesh senior men's cricket team's upcoming two-Test series against Pakistan, set to begin on August 21 in Rawalpindi, is in jeopardy due to the ongoing civil unrest in Bangladesh following the forced resignation of ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The uncertainty not only affects the senior team but also clouds the Bangladesh A team's shadow tour. Bangladesh A was scheduled to play in Pakistan's cities of Rawalpindi and Karachi, but their plans have been delayed by 48 hours.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has extended an offer to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to bring the senior squad to Rawalpindi early and provide all necessary training facilities. Yet, communication has been difficult, further complicating the situation. The BCB's operations are reportedly disrupted with its president having left the country.
