Bangladesh cricket team's Pakistan tour!
I am concerned with the recent decision of BCCB to send our national cricket team to Pakistan. When the world cricketing nations have boycotted playing in Pakistan due to security reasons, I am astonished at the BCCB's decision. I presume it's more like a barter trade that Bangladesh will send its team to Pakistan and in return Pakistan will support Bangladesh candidate in the ICC presidential race. What I gather from my friends in BCCB is that this decision has been taken at the whim of its president who is aspiring to take over the ICC's highest job. Why are we making our innocent players a sacrificial lamb for the personal gain of the BCCB president?
I would request our government to intervene in this matter and tell BCCB to cancel this tour, as we do not owe anything to Pakistan to undertake this risky tour in their troubled country.
