Bangladesh Versus Pakistan series in April 2012

[firstlane]

পাকিস্তান ক্রিকেট বোর্ডের (পিসিবি) সভাপতি জাকা আশরাফ জানিয়েছেন, বাংলাদেশ সরকার তাঁদের জাতীয় ক্রিকেট দলকে এপ্রিলে পাকিস্তান সফরের অনুমতি দিয়েছে। এর পরিপ্রেক্ষিতে দেশটির নিরাপত্তা পরিস্থিতি পরিদর্শন করতে বাংলাদেশের প্রতিনিধিরা অচিরেই পাকিস্তান সফর করবেন। পাকিস্তানের দ্য নেশন পত্রিকা এ খবর জানিয়েছে।
জাকা আশরাফ সাংবাদিকদের বলেছেন, ‘বাংলাদেশ সরকার পাকিস্তানে তাদের দল পাঠাতে প্রস্তুত এবং এর পরিপ্রেক্ষিতে পাকিস্তানের নিরাপত্তা পরিস্থিতি নিরূপণে তাদের পররাষ্ট্র মন্ত্রণালয় একটি প্রতিনিধিদল পাঠাবে।’
জাকা আশরাফ আরও জানান, বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেট দলের পাকিস্তান সফরের ব্যাপারে আইসিসির কোনো আপত্তি নেই। আর আইসিসির এ মনোভাব এটাই প্রমাণ করে যে তারা পাকিস্তানে আন্তর্জাতিক ক্রিকেট ম্যাচ পুনরায় শুরু করতে আগ্রহী। এমনকি পাকিস্তানে ক্রিকেট দল পাঠানোর ব্যাপারে বিসিবির সিদ্ধান্তকে স্বাগত জানিয়েছে আইসিসি।
জাকা আশরাফ জানান, পাকিস্তানের নিরাপত্তা পরিস্থিতি এখন স্বাভাবিক এবং আন্তর্জাতিক ম্যাচ আয়োজনের জন্য যথেষ্ট নিরাপদ।

Why couldn't we wait till a calmer situation where no bombs are exploding at least for two consecutive years? I understand the new PCB chief wants to show off his credentials by bringing international cricket back but I simply hate the fact that it has to happen at our expense.

I hate our cricket board for this

I don't think I would want my 15 year old niece to see this thread. I am not kidding.

[roman]

I want to hear it from BCB

[r56hg]

Haha what a joke

[Rifat]

oh man, our players won't travel to Dubai....

[Tigers_eye]

Why doesn't BCB have a Forum? Digital jugey, I thought the current BCB leaders would instill that.

Pura crash hoiye jaito oi forum with this kind of silly scheduling.

The Bangladesh board will send a security team to Pakistan to assess whether it is all right for their team to tour there. The ICC has told ESPNcricinfo it will send its own team to assess the security situation in Pakistan before sending its match officials there for the proposed series. After the Bangladesh series, Pakistan are scheduled to play a home series against Australia in August-September 2012, and then one against South Africa in October 2013.

Wouldn't it be funny if our chamchas come home and say the security is fine, but ICC team find it otherwise? LOL.

Or ICC security team caught BD's taking bribe from the Paks?

BCB will wait for ICC's verdict then will decide IMHO.


And, regarding the "bribe" - don't we already know that? Mr. Kamal as ICC boss...

Politics make strange bedfellows. An AL leader is working with Pakistan to make this tour a reality!!!

I am very uncomfortable about this tour. Having said that, I am pretty sure that PAK will provide security that would be normally for a US President visit. If there is any incident whatsoever, PAK can say goodbye to international cricket for years and Loitta will be finished.

[TigerEz]

i swear if something happens to my team!!!!! then Lotus is a goner

[oronnya]

amra hochhi bolir bokhra .. Kamal re khelte pathailei hoi.. nije to jabe na... chhotolok...

[BANFAN]

Well, there is a relative calm on Taliban front due to two reasons; one is 'on going negotiation with US for power sharing to end insurgency' the other is 'winter'. Taliban activities always drop in winter. But the biggest threat is ISI/Pak Army, than Taliban. They are just waiting to create some chaos convince people that they are needed/politicians are failing. And what could be a softer target than BD and can have the same emotional effect nationwide. Don't get confused, bd players getting injured isn't the emotion, but cricket getting a blow in Pak is the emotion which can turn the fortune of Pak army at this moment....while Taliban itself may not sit idle, most of Pak venues aren't affected by severe winter to deter Taliban from an attack...

So, I feel it's better to avoid going to Pak. If at all we go, we must go with our own security... And that's not police; either RAB/Army. That should be our condition and be sure, Pcb will swallow any condition smoothly, to take cricket there. At least players will feel safer with our own security...

[WorldCup11]

Can we organise a friendly cricket match between BD Politicians and PAK politicians in pakistan? It'll give some indiacation how safe it is to play cricket in pakistan.

Lotus Kamal as Captain for BD team

Yes that's what should be done before we send our boys !! loitta age nije jaak tarpore amader chhelera jabe bass !!!

[WorldCup11]

Serious note: My ideas about friendly cricket match between politicians of both countries are:
1. Politicians will try to save their lives at any cost
2. PAK politicians know exactly what the condition there is and how to take appropriate security for their own sake.
3. BD Politicians will do appropriate homework before going there
4. If the friendly match goes through without any trouble, then I’d demand the same security for real cricketers.
5. If some of the politicians get injured in the match or outside the ground, we will know it’s impossible to assure security at that part of the world.

[Tiger-ess]

I dont want this series to happen. I just dont like it when bd plays Pak coz ever time we get battered and...its embarrassing dudes!!

[meazz1]

I would agree to send the boys only if Rashid Latif reassures the safety of the team!
