Unbelieveable that UCBSA would do this, with 36 hour's notice! This does nothing to heal the various underground rifts in the ICC. BD played manfully in seven matches without running for cover, or giving the enemy (in sports terms only) any quarter. SA, if they had really wished to uphold their commitment to this tour, could have done so as well.
Want some neutral venues? Dhaka, Chittagong, Mymensingh, Jessore, Rajshahi..... Although, given the fact that Bangladeshi cricket lovers can cut through the smoke and clearly see who was at fault for cancelling this series, SA might not think, BD would be much on a neutral venue- public sympathy wise.
