Tiger-Don Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=267535 Quote: * Full-fledged India tour likely this year * Pakistan tour currently not on the agenda * BCB president urges BPL franchises to comply with February 5 deadline Quote: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon said on Friday that he is hopeful that the Tigers will visit India for a maiden full-fledged tour this year. Following discussions with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president N Srinivasan on the sidelines of the recent ICC first board meeting in Dubai, Papon said that the BCCI chief assured him that he will seriously try to host Bangladesh for a full series by the end of this year. Ū'm now focusing on how we can tour India this year. I'm very much hopeful because the BCCI president assured me that he will seriously try to host Bangladesh for a full-fledged series by end of this year, Papon, who returned home after attending his first ICC board meeting two days back, told the reporters at the MA Aziz Stadium. Quote: Bangladesh played their inaugural Test against India in November 2000 in Dhaka but they have never been on a full tour of India since their Test status in 2000. It should be noted that former BCB president Mustafa Kamal also said in June last year that he had received a positive response from N Srinivasan about Bangladesh's tour to India by the end of 2012 but that did not materialise. Quote: We are yet to take any decision about our players' participation in the PSL (Pakistan Super League) but as I said we have to hundred percent satisfied with the security, said Papon, adding that they were in no way on the back-foot despite PCB's refusal to give their players NOCs for participating in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). Ţctually the Pakistan tour is not in our mind at this moment because we have the Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe tour in the line and we want to try our best so that we can make sure that Bangladesh will visit India for a full series by the end of this year, said Papon. Quote: The BCB boss was also not worried with the non-payment issue in the ongoing second edition of BPL and he was hopeful that everything will be solved by February 5, their latest deadline for the franchises to solve all the financial issues. Ūn the ICC meeting everybody highly praised the BPL. And it's nice that the tournament is going great and the fans have also started to come. I know there is talk about the non-payment issue and one of our local players also talked about the issue but what I want to say is that everybody should talk with the BCB before making any comments. Owais Shah admitted his mistake after he had provided the wrong account number. Ÿe made all the payments from last year and I can assure everybody that they will get their money this season also. We have the latest deadline till February 5 and the franchises will make a big mistake if they don't clear their dues. They (franchises) will suffer heavily for broken promises this time, warned Papon. Bunch of B.S! SHrini said the same **** last year but **** aint happen!
Spiderguy252 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Once again, it's the Bangladeshi bloke saying this - I'll wait for an official press release from the BCCI before I believe it. As should the Bangladeshis. As for the games itself, I reckon the Bangladeshis could beat us and hold us to ransom the way we're faring at the moment.
Pagalpanti Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Right time, with India losing left right and center vs all top teams. About time we started playing teams like Sri Lanka/Bangladesh.
SLICKR392 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Finally something to raise our confidence before the Saffa tour.
Tiger-Don Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 Finally something to raise our confidence before the Saffa tour. Playing Bangladesh in India aint gonna help you do **** in SA! have a look at what SA is doing to other teams bro! #truestory unless, we host this series in South Africa or Australia! BCCI has the power to do everything right?

BCCI has the power to do everything right? Sarcasm bro. A meaningless tour to have in this tight scedule. Calm down.
I6MTW Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I actually think sa tour will be a turning point to our misfortunes.

BCCI has the power to do everything right? We drew in SA last time in 2011 1-1 against these very bowlers (except Philander).
Tiger-Don Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 We drew in SA last time in 2011 1-1 against these very bowlers (except Philander). well of you think your team can do it again with this form, then great...
Ultimate_Game Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 If India loses to Aus at home, I can see BCCI inviting B'desh :haha:
SLICKR392 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 well of you think your team can do it again with this form' date=' then great...[/quote'] The team can only get better from here there is no going down for us as we have hit rock bottom. So to your question, yes we can.
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Zaka Ashraf read this and shat in his pants. kyun koi meri jamhooriyat mein nahi aata
I6MTW Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 A win against bangladesh and everybody will forget all about india's defeats.
King Khan Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Indian schedule seems quite tight this year at FTP. Only possibility for full series if uncertain India-Pakistan series dont happens at July-August. This will be epic pwanage to Pakis, if it really happens this way. :--D Let see how BCCI respond.

goggi Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 i think this series should happen. current indian needs to take baby steps to rebuild the test side. bangladesh would be perfect. i would say a two test series, 3 odis and 2 t20s would suffice. after that arrange against sri lanka.
King Khan Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 What Ind-Pak series? Featuring tests? And where? UAE or India? Its in FTP. no detail. IMO current situation with these debate of hosting nation & unwillingness this tour wont be confirmed and very likely to be postponed. And a BD series can be arranged instead.
carnish Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Hope to see both Pakistan and Bangladesh play tests in AUG-SEP. Would be good practice before we leave for SAF ... As far as ODIs are concerned .. we have 7 of them scheduled against Australia.
