Bangladesh not interested to play cricket against Pakistan: BCB Chief

DHAKA – Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief Nazmul Hassan has stated that his team wasn’t very keen on playing against Pakistan at the moment. He said that BCB was not in talks with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) ever since the announcement by the latter that Pakistan wouldn’t tour Bangladesh this year.

According to ESPNcricinfo, BCB chief said that Bangladesh wasn’t in talks for a series with Pakistan after the champions Trophy. He said that Bangladesh’s Under-19 team might have toured Pakistan but after PCB calling off the series in Bangladesh, even that wasn’t on the cards anymore.

Nazmul Hassan said that ‘when they made this announcement [of postponing the Bangladesh tour] we are no longer in talks. After this, there is no question of talking about the HP tour’.

Hassan added that Bangladesh had four or five teams lined up to play against Bangladesh after Champions Trophy. From Champions Trophy they’ll come home, play against Australia and then head off to South Africa.
