Bdesh refuses to reschedule Pakistan series

http://cricketnext.in.com/news/bdesh.../37519-13.html

Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board is now facing scheduling problems with Bangladesh as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has refused to bring ahead the dates of the proposed one-day series between the two sides.

The PCB had asked their Bangladeshi counterparts to reschedule the five-match ODI series which is supposed to get underway in Dhaka on March 3 because it could clash with a Test series against Sri Lanka, but it (BCB) was refused saying that it will be hosting a major domestic event next month.

Pakistan is scheduled to host Sri Lanka in a two match Test-series in February-March, but the dates of the matches have still not been announced by the PCB.

"The idea was to go to Bangladesh for the five-match series and then return in time to host Sri Lanka for two Tests to be played in February-March," The News quoted a source in the PCB, as saying.

Pakistan had invited Sri Lanka to play in a Test and one day international series after the Indian government refused to allow the cricket team to tour Pakistan citing security reasons in the wake of the Mumbai terror attacks.
