Bangladesh will send a security delegation to Pakistan soon to see if its cricket team can visit the country in March and April for a short series, Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan said on Saturday.
A proposed tour this month was postponed for security reasons and Pakistan subsequently threatened to block their players' participation in the forthcoming Bangladesh Premier League Twenty20 [ Images ] tournament, which starts on January 18.
Nazmul told a news conference that Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf had made a fresh invitation when the pair met in New Delhi [ Images ] during an India-Pakistan One-Day International.
"We haven't made any specific decisions but we discussed our end of the problem with him," Namzul said.
"We talked about a time slot, end of March and the start of April, otherwise we are busy in Sri Lanka [ Images ] and Zimbabwe. We will send the security team as soon as possible."
No international cricket team has visited Pakistan since armed militants attacked the Sri Lanka team bus in Lahore [ Images ] in 2009, killing eight Pakistanis and wounding six Sri Lankan players.
