godzilla · #**101** December 15, 2012, 07:07 AM

this is damn ridicilous ... the players should protest. If it is really upto the players like the article stated than the likes of TAMIM, Shakib and co should stand up and say no ... what's bcb going to do? send a second string team to play there? Out first choices can barely stand head to head against pakistan let's not forget that ...

@Godzilla: first of all its upto the players and staff if they want to go also the Pakistan team is old once their players are gone, Bangladesh the experience young team will crush the new weak Pakistan team.

I live in abroad but I'm willing to donate for legal action to stop this suicidal tour if anyone can help me.

This series will progress this time around. It'll be interesting to see, if any of our players opt out.

Rabz · #**106** December 15, 2012, 08:56 AM

This January or next, Bangladesh will be the first team to tour Pakistan.
So better be this.

I have no problem only if they can get a good deal out of it.

Nah mate u shouldn't be surprised at all. Sending the team over there is certainly putting the team to become terrorist's target. The govt of Pakistan dosent have significant control over security since the police are being attacked by terrorist organisation. Tamim's visit didn't get as much exposure as Bangladesh's tour would get. The consequences of the attack would be considered as huge win for the terrorist organisation so it would be quite difficult for Pakistan to refrain the terrorists not to attack BD team. The risk is too significant for such a small return that BCB is expecting and on top that we may set a dangerous example for the world. I have nothing against Pakistan and their people but they have bigger problem to solve before hosting an international cricket team.

People are forgetting that America is sending drones over there everytime so its too risky.

This whole issue about whether to visit pak or not is and the fans' complaints about safety doesnt surprise me one bit. True, pak is unsafe. True, an internationaal team was attacked. True, they have bombs blasting anywhere and everywhere.

And its also true that because of these, pak has lost all trust, lost the rights to host a once in several decades opportunity to host world cup, lost internatioanl cricket.

Theres much more at stake for pak to make sure this tour happens. They are just being s good negotiator by making this tour a key requirement for them to have to send their players to bd for bpl.

Mind you, we've visited zimbabwe when it was going through radical changes.

Personally, given th at theres more at stake for pak here...i dont think there will be any security issues. But the most important thing is to ensure that the players and all other team staff are aggreing on this.

From what i know, the british army team has visited pak last month. Does anyone know if that tour ever took place?

what is this? Bijoy Dibosh Special?

Kabir · #**114** December 15, 2012, 11:13 AM

And there you go. Politics again.

And US friendly fire is the biggest killer of friendly forces/Innocent people...both in Afg and Iraq...

... Good that the drones don't yet operate over Lahore or Karachi...

PCB is controlling BCB just like how Illuminati is controlling America.

What goes around is bound to come around

I believe one of the airport in Peshawar in Pakistan got under bomb attack. If airport is not safe then I will not back this tour. here it is http://dawn.com/2012/12/15/three-bla...d-in-peshawar/ and http://www.nation.com.pk/pakistan-ne...shawar-airport

Don't go to Pakistan.

Sohel · #**119** December 16, 2012, 02:47 AM

This type of risk makes no sense for Bangladesh from CBA perspective.

Peshawar airport rocket fire kills four in Pakistan

Taliban militants have launched a rocket attack on Peshawar airport in north-west Pakistan, killing at least four civilians, officials say.

BD will be welcomed in a fashion

Which coach is going to accompany the team in Pak? SJ might refuse, being the interim coach. Or he might just make it conditional to appointing him as the head coach?? Or are we traveling without a coach?? Everything is on the table I guess....

this series is even damaging us at home, with all the confusions amongst he team members and support staff....why can't they just abandon it...?

riajul · #**122** December 16, 2012, 05:02 AM

No Pakistani to feature in BPL if Bangladesh refuses tour’ http://dawn.com/2012/12/16/bd-urged-...-refuses-tour/

deshimon · #**123** December 16, 2012, 05:39 AM

I was in favour of going Pakistan but it seems it is not safe to go Pakistan at the moment. It happens regular bomb attack in Pakistan. So this is not a good decision to go there.

Shaan · #**124** December 16, 2012, 06:00 AM

does it really matter that we must and should have Pakistani players in our BPL, though i wouldn't mind to see them but will it really deadlock the BPL???

Without foreign players its very understandable that BPL franchises wont be able to create any confident squads. And for hiring 'foreign players', you wont get quality ones in cheap from anywhere but Pakistan atm. Also in general common Bangladeshi cricket fans are more devoted towards muslim players also.
