KARACHI, Dec 21: Bangladesh have agreed to tour Pakistan next month in the first visit by any country since terrorists attacked the Sri Lanka cricket team bus in Lahore in March 2009, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf said on Friday.

“The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has conveyed to us their team’s visit is confirmed and they have also got approval from their board members. They have also sent us the time frame for the tour,” Zaka told a private TV channel.

“I am pretty confident now this tour will take place and signal the return of international cricket to Pakistan,” Zaka added. “We will soon also be co-ordinating security arrangements for the tour with the provincial governments.”—Reuters
