Bangladesh has informed the PCB that its team won't able to tour Pakistan as scheduled. The decision, communicated to the PCB by the BCB's acting CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury, follows an order on Thursday afternoon by the Dhaka High Court suspending the tour for four weeks. The tour - comprising two limited-overs games - was to take place in Lahore at the end of April.
Thursday's events have added to doubts over whether the tour will indeed go ahead at all.
The court order, delivered by Justices Farid Ahmed and Sheikh Hasan Arif on Thursday afternoon, also said that in the interim period the sports secretary, the National Sports Council chief and BCB chief Mustafa Kamal justify the decision for the tour.
The order was on a writ petition filed in the morning by a university teacher and a Supreme Court lawyer who, citing concerns over security, challenged the BCB's decision to send the team at the end of April for a three-day tour.
Azim, one of the lawyers for the petitioners, said: "The ICC asked for a security plan from PCB. They have still not given it."
He continued, "Pakistan is not safe for any foreign teams now. Their own media says so. For that reason, no country agrees to play there. Under the same circumstances, we should not go there also."

the mismanagement of security issues cost us this tour again. I think it was a logical decision by Bangladesh, because no body want's their team to be hurt

[Karachi]

Agreed.

Any other suggestions?

do I see sarcasm? the other guy is pakistani too you know

stop being a blind nationalist, if a country hosting can't provide adequate security, what do you expect other countries to do?

Personally I was looking forward to this tour, but yet again because of stupid politics and government, it cost us the tour

They were offered security equal to the level of a President? What Else?
When Angelina Julie can tour Pakistan without any security why can't they? :-P
