Speaking to the media, Ashraf said that Bangladesh team will play three One-Day Internationals and two Twenty-20 matches during the tour.
“We are in contact with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), however the details of the tour have not been finalised,” said the PCB chairman.
After the 2009 gun attack on Sri Lanka’s cricket team in Lahore, the doors seemed to have closed on international cricket being held in the country for a very long time.
However, Sindh Sports Minister and an avid cricket organiser, Dr Mohammad Ali Shah, arranged the much-needed action amid drought of international cricket and announced for a two-day tournament in Karachi's National Stadium.
The matches were played on October 20 and 21 with former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya (World XI) and star all-rounder Shahid Afridi (Pakistan All Stars) named captains.

Come I guys chill Bangladesh would have visited Pakistan last April aswell but we all know Bangladesh cricket is run by politicians so there are bound to obstruct good relationship that doesn't speak for the people of bd or he players....it's the government who decides everything.stop being so harsh on bd in general
Seeing is believing when it comes to BCB. We have heard this before.
@Bilal: And YOU will pay the players for their financial loss? We all want international cricket to return but why punish players for state's shortcomings and Bangladeshis wanting to feel safe? Please answer.
and we have been here before...
Today Pakistan is dependent on Bangladesh to revive CRICKET at home. Talk about KARMA.
Welcome news, surely an achievement of Zaka and PCB.
And why not to do this, if they dont send their team this time, PCB SHOULD NOT ALLOW PAK PLAYERS TO PARTICIPATE IN NEXT YEAR Bangla PREMIER LEAGUE !! will see then :)
