Allah bachao.
Pls no Pak tour.

[Spitfire_x86]

To hell with having Pakistani cricketers in BPL. We don't need players from a blackmailing cricket board. BPL's star player needs can be adequately met by West Indian players.

[crikss]

We need Pak players for BPL ?? If BPL doesn't take place that's also ok but I hope this tour never happens. What an attitude from PCB..Pure blackmailing...It's better not to take Pak players even in BPL..Just ignore them like IPL

[ankur86]

If we do not take them Pakistani players will lose their most lucrative LEGAL source of income.

[Hamlafan]

its a done deal, Mustafa Kamal got his job as Vice President and In return he promised a tour.

If BD rejects now, the only person who will win is Mustafa Kamal but ofcourse this will increase the already internal duel that Bangladesh has with Pakistan. I think Kamal Mustafa is very safe at the moment and even if BD Fails to tour Pakistan he will be the winner. I am very confused whether to go or not. If we don't go we don't lose much, except future tours with Pakistan and BPL.

why not replace Pakistani players with all the sri lankan players to cover bpl?

Its time for ordinary citizens to step up and halt this tour at the High Court like last time. Enough is enough. People have already died in airport attacks in PAK. If they think Ireland and Afghanistan are better teams ask those world beaters to tour PAK.

[Ajfar]

This tour will happen. Shalar D bag Loitta used this tour to get Pak vote for his nomination. Pak was smart enough to put it paper, otherwise it would just turn out to be hearsay. Loitta knew very well he wouldn't be here to deal with it, so its not on his shoulder any more, its the next guy's problem. BPL is suppose to start on Jan 17th, and they are asking for that tour between Jan 10-15. I can't believe amader cricketer eto duroboshta.

Is it not a violation of the ICC policy of governmental interference?
"It is a matter of achieving an appropriate balance between support and interference. It is important for the credibility of such safeguards that once defined, they are enforced rigorously and consistently.""

""In the ICC annual conference, we made some changes and introduced some onerous penalties if they [issues related to government interference] are not complied with," Isaac said in Dhaka."

Then its up to each and every cricketer to boycott the tour. I hope Shakib's new wife tells him not to go and then the other cricketers think "are we less valuable than Shakib?" and likewise refuse. What is BCB going to do when every single cricketer refuses to go, especially when they themself have said they won't force anyone to go?

Frankly, PCB are scumbags, and there is no honor in keeping agreements with scoundrels. Why not ask Ireland and Afghanistan to tour since they are so much stronger teams and since PAK fans don't want to see Bangladesh? Answer is simple, our players are viewed as expendable target practice dummies to see if their "presidential" security is good enough for teams like Ireland and Afghanistan.

Even after our tour, PCB will be unable to convince anyone else to tour and justice when then be served for successfully blackmailing us.

And to hell with Mustafa Kamal also. What goes around will come around.

What will PCB say about the safety and security in their nation? ICC is unlikely to stop the tour. I hope and pray that our boys return safely.

I really hope Shakib's wife put her foot down. Maybe things will snowball from there. If a team is sent, all top officials from both boards should be forced to accompany the team everywhere.

[HereWeGo]

the only person responsible for this whole debacle is Mr Lotus Kamal.....

[BrianLara7]

This is just beyond pathetic... It's understandable from PCB afterall it does stand for PAKISTAN cricket board so can't expect anything better from them but to resort to these cheap tactics. But how the hell does it make sense for one corrupt Board president to sign an agreement as important as this without the permission of the players/ Icc? And why should agreement signed by Previous president be binding on current President? If any legal actions are to be taken then it should be against Lotus Kamal.. and about Pakistani players in BPL.. BPl isn't going to die without them. Our players' lives are more important. I ask important members of BC (Zunaid, Sohel) etc to raise this issue to those who matter, we can't gamble with our players' lives.

[al-Sagar]

from cricinfo, well said .....

Dear Pak fans, thanks a lot for criticizing Bangladesh cricket team: (1) You guys are absolutely right, our (BD) team is still minnow and do not deserve to play against Pak team. (2) Now, stop crying here in cricinfo and go back to your work for your country to develop enough security for the other mighty teams like Aus, SA, Eng etc .... (3) Having a short tour of BD team in Pakistan will not be enough for others (Aus, SA, Eng) to believe that Pakistan is safe for cricket. (4) And, regarding your arguments about not sending your players to BPL. Please be noticed that BPL is not a charity tournament, players are paid (early or lately) for playing in BPL. You guys can also start such a tournament with with foreign players. (5) And, yes we are indebted to Ind, Pak, SL etc for supporting our cricket and test status. That does not mean we have to sacrifice lives of our players for other countries.

[shakibrulz]

Disgusting tactics. If BCB's got a tiny bit of shame left, which I doubt, they won't send the team to Pak. I was in two minds about this, but after this, it's all clear. Screw PCB. No, players' lives are more important than some domestic league.

[NoName]

Who cares, just ban them from our domestic league, who the **** do they think they are trying to blackmail us. Fine if they don't want to let them play in the BPL make sure they don't come near our Dhaka league while they're at it.

Bangladeshi politicians are shameless and have no guts.. they will sell their own mothers if it's in their own interest so some players' lives are nothing.

[BengaliPagol]

That cricinfo comment was bang on target. Well said whoever said it

[godzilla]

People at bangladesh beats up and kills innocent young lads and yet they don't have the balls to beat the SH*T out of people like KALAM? This douch bag deserves all the kicks and punches along with other corrupted politicians ... i hope all the players + coaches boycuts this series!

[Sohel]

This tour will not take place.

Hopefully

[deshimon]

But I think, considering the situation from both boards, this series is going to be held. Both boards are ready to make this tour. The date of this tour is 11 December to 13 December. So we should discuss about security issues. Which type of security they want to give us.
