Sports
Pakistan want to play Bangladesh on their home soil. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) stated that they want the home series against Bangladesh to be played in Pakistan.
"We stand by our policy of not playing any home series fixtures abroad," a PCB spokesperson told Geo News.
"Initial plans regarding Bangladesh's upcoming tour have been sent to them (Bangladesh management). Venues and dates are yet to be finalised," said the PCB representative.
The two-Test matches are scheduled to be played in late January and will be followed by three T20Is.
Pakistan is set to host Sri Lanka, for a home Test series in December.
Recently, Bangladesh women U16 team and Youth Teams toured Pakistan. The visitors played in the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and in Rawalpindi.
"PCB feels that there should be no issue for the men's team to visit now as two teams from the country (Bangladesh) have already been hosted by us," said a source within the PCB.
Prior to the teams' visit, a security delegation from Bangladesh Cricket Board visited Pakistan and went through the security plans of all the three series.
The two-Test match series is a part of ICCs World Test Championship
