BCB yet to get formal invitation from PCB

Shaharyar may ask for compensation

Nizamuddin Chowhdury, chief executive of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said that they have not received any formal approach from Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on a short (Twenty20) series.
It is surfaced out in international media that PCB proposed its Bangladeshi counterparts to play a brief two-match T20 series in Pakistani soil. 
“Pakistan on various occasions requested us to send our cricket team whether it is men’s or women’s national team or age level cricket team in Pakistan. In that aspect, we sent our national women’s team in the last quarter of 2015. Therefore, the communication over different issues between the two boards has been made like other boards,” said Nizamuddin Chowdhury yesterday. 
Bangladesh women’s team played two-match Twenty20 series as many matches in ODI series in Karachi’s Southend Club Ground.
“But we have not got any formal approach or invitation from Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) regarding Twenty20 series,” Chowdhury told media at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.
Pakistan recently staged the final of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), in where some overseas players along with Bangladesh’s Anamul Haque Bijoy also performed there. 
Actually Pakistan desperately try to bring foreign teams back in Pakistan soil for playing as they could not host international matches in home soil since the terrorist attack on Sri Lankan cricket team in March, 2009. 
They had earlier redoubled their efforts by bringing Zimbabwe, Kenya to play in Pakistan. But no big teams dare to travel in Pakistan due to the terror attack. West Indies agreed to tour in Pakistan but they finally suspended their tour due to the then terrorist attack.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan has said they may ask Bangladesh for compensation for not touring Pakistan before agreeing to visit them for a series in July-August this year, according to Pakistan leading English daily Dawn.
Talking to newsmen on Monday, the chairman said, “We want to host Bangladesh but its chances are not bright. As we already toured Bangladesh in 2015 and they did not turn up in Pakistan in return [on security grounds], we may ask them to compensate us financially if they want us to tour them again in July-August this year.”
Bangladesh had last visited Pakistan for a bilateral series in 2003. The PCB does not want to host Bangladesh in the UAE because of the latter’s unattractive market value due to which the PCB had to suffer from financial loss.
