First class Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 10 hours ago, sandeep said: PCB insulted Bangladesh by refusing to host them for test series in UAE couple of years ago - they were fine to host SL and WI, but not Bangladesh. BCB is only paying them back for the disrespect. And instead of smoothing over ruffled feathers, PCB doubled down on the "aggression" and finger pointing. Hurting Pakistan cricket in the process. Its a familiar pattern, greenbro stupidity to cut their own nose off to spite their face. There was no insult to BD , Pakistan just did not want to spend too much money in UAE on a team like BD which is not very attractive team for Pakistani cricket fans. SL and WI are much higher profile teams. I think Pakistan cricket can only get stronger from here. Good luck to BD cricket also but they can;t afford the stupid actions like this. Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 No they can't. I also doubt losing test points is such a big deal for BD. Keeping all our history with pak aside I still feel BD should not visit if they have concerns however I also think pak should stick to its stand. Link to comment

BD has put all their eggs in BCCI's basket, they think they are smart, only time will tell. Financially they are not very attractive to BCCI also, not too many countries want to play with them anyway. With cheater Shakib banned , they are really minnows in all format now and will go down further. As if everybody is dying to play pakistan and they are running riots in test cricket arena. Please remind us when was the list time you drew a test match in Aus forget about winning. Pakistanis have this mentality of demeaning boards like afg and bd as if they are any better than them. rock777 1 Link to comment

You don't get to decide what is, or isn't insulting to Bangladesh. Nor do you get to decide whether they feel it's safe enough or not. It's funny how blind you guys can be, to a different perspective. Link to comment

Do you even think ICC would hand them the points for free, like they are chanting for, cause team didn't want to travel there for security concerns. If not, then BD/AFG/Wi/ etc doesn't deserve this nutfu*kery from them either Link to comment

You cannot have both side on the coin. Tour or lose points just like in 1996 WC. Simple as that You are right, but in 1996 multiple teams played in SL. Only SL has toured Pakistan so far and if SA , Eng or Australia tour Pakistan then these points should be awarded to Pakistan if BCB still does not tour Pakistan.This is test tour which could be rescheduled at later date also.

Autonomous Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Series to be played in Pakistan under three legs. Great work by PCB to come up with a professional solution. Edited January 14, 2020 by Autonomous Link to comment

Autonomous Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) First test in Rawalpindi is going to be fun, weather forecast shows no sign of rain and cold weather is expected. Hopefully some good seam bowling will be on show from Shaheen and Naseem Shah. Edited January 14, 2020 by Autonomous Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Good for PCB atleast to act rationally and sort out in a meeting room rather than throwing tantrums in the media. Link to comment

Regardless, good to see cricket will continue between BD/PAK. Bottom line, no real fan wants to see grown ass man battling it out with beliefs and power ego trip, all they should care about is if there will be cricket played or not. Link to comment

Expecting full house for one of the days in Rawalpindi. Lahore t20s should also be good to watch, lets see if they select rauf. Hopefully we can in future use other venues such as Peshawar and Quetta as well, particularly the latter one as soon as security improves there. Multan is hosting some PSL matches though.

Karachi pitch was excellent (check SL test highlights). They have done some work in Lahore Stadium where the PSL final shall be played as well this year. Pindi was disappointment though however the crowd there is superb. From a strategic point of view PCB's next objective should be to increase # of stadiums, currently there is a proposed stadium in Skardu which is one of the safest places in pakistan and has airport access as well as five star hotel & accomodation facilities due to it being a popular tourist destination.

Zero_Unit Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 @Autonomous I remember reading that (not sure when) pcb is working on creating new stadiums. Still working on it or done? Link to comment
