BCB( Bangladesh cricket board ) Likely to approach PCB ( Pakistan cricket board) for split series. Bangladesh and Pakistan are scheduled to play Test and T20 international series which is expected to begin from next year between January and February. Pakistan is set to host the Visitors for Test and T20I. Anyhow, BCB is still a dilemma and it has shown an approach to play only the T20 international series in Pakistan. Bangladesh cricket board wants to play the longer format matches at a neutral venue.
Recently, Pakistan had successfully hosted a T20 International series and One day international series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan cricket board was in talks with Bangladesh cricket board (BCB) over hosting a test series and T20 international series against their national squad. In contrary to that, PCB( Pakistan Cricket Board) has sent a draft with a schedule to its counterparts.

Akram Khan, the chairman of Bangladesh cricket board cricket operation Bangladesh said that they are likely to ask PCB( Pakistan cricket board) to split Test and T20 International series. Anyhow which series will be played first will depend on the security reports. According to Akram, if they don’t get an acceptance from the officers, they might discuss it with the Pakistan cricket board to play at a neutral venue.
Akram Khan said “We might ask PCB to split the Test and T20 internationals. Which series we play first will depend on the security report. If we don’t get the positive signal for some reason then we should discuss with them over playing at a neutral venue but if we get the Positive signal then it is different,”
“The government NOC( No objection certificate) is more important for us than Sri Lanka. Because only then we can think of the tour. We are waiting for a suggestion from the government. We will naturally sit with the cricketers and take their opinion as well.” he added
