PCB was always going to try bring international teams in their country. It is in their own interest.
A weaker cricketing nation like Zim or Bangladesh is their best bet and they would naturally first persuade and if they have to as last resort, would intimidate or bully to some extend, which PCB already did. But that does not mean that we have do yes, no, very good every time.
Even though we are doing the right thing by not going to Pakistan, the board's childish behaviour is really making us look like idiots. Can't even handle one single matter with professionalism.

I disagree to an extent. PCB deserves to be treated in this foul manner. They are hardly any different from BCCI in terms of how they treat us. There is almost nothing but pure lies, bullshit, and entitlement coming from their mouths. Be it Ijazz Butt or Zaka Ashraf.
1) Pakistan is the reason Bangladesh got Test status.
2) Pakistan have always supported BD.
3) Bangladesh cancelled a tour in 2009 (we had legit internal issues at the time and PCB already retaliated by cancelling a U-19 tour for no reason).
4) Using the ICC presidency as an extortionary tool.
5) Then using BPL and player NOCs as an extortionary tool.
6) Ashraf saying they will get "better" teams to tour.
The only mistake BCB have made is not giving a straight answer on two seperate occaisions. And it was after PCB had committed all those infractions. Wholly justified in my opinion.
PCB is also wholly delusional if they think they are doing their players favors by keeping them out of BPL. Even late or fractional payments is better than QeA Trophy paychecks on time + bonus. Also, no harm will come to BCB's reputation based on their dealings on this PAK tour. In fact other boards are probably impressed at the gall and generosity.
