Bangladesh cricket team could tour Pakistan this year
"We have had a correspondence with the Pakistan Cricket Board over a tour to their country at the end of this year. I would say this is a commitment," Hasan told a news conference.
"However, it all depends on security and many other issues including the cost benefit. We have to see how the Bangladesh cricket team will benefit from this tour. We also have to discuss the matter with the government before making a final decision."
Pakistan media recently reported that Bangladesh would play three one-day internationals and two Twenty20 internationals. The BCB denied the reports.
Bangladesh were scheduled to tour Pakistan in April for a short series but it was cancelled after a High Court division bench ordered the visit be suspended following a petition filed by a lawyer and a private university teacher.
No international teams have toured Pakistan since the 2009 attack by militants on the Sri Lanka team bus in Lahore.

Please don't jocks about Bangladesh cricket.
" how the Bangladesh cricket team will benefit from this tour"
Well did they put that question? Probably they are not much aware of where they stand in cricket history and legacy, probably the T20 ranking and couple of victories in Asia Cup have made them overconfident. They always crib that how can they improve especially if test playing nations are not playing enough cricket with them, well this is their big chance if they want to grab it.
What a joke. With the BCB's full membership status in the ICC coming under question due to the wholly amateurish performance of it's international team, this remark is incredibly pompous.
