The stadium will remain empty and I highly doubt BD will gain anything from those matches other than piling up more lossess. ICC arranged matches with ZIM, KEN, SCOT etc because BD can play competitive cricket and at least win some matches, this will help BD how to win. First learn how to swim efficiently in the pond before going to the ocean, please.

The day BD can throw enough challenges to India Cricket, BCCI will beg BCB to visit India. Until then, nothing to be ashamed about playing in BD. I dont support BCCI's decision, but in the days of commercial cricket I cant blame them much either.

Pure non-sense! BD is a way better team now. According to the Champions Trophy 2006 which is currently going on in India, we did a good job in any standard you are talking about. Though, our expectation was high...thats different thing!!
