The scheduled visit of the Bangladesh A team to Pakistan this month has been thrown into uncertainty due to widespread protests in Bangladesh, leading to a delay in their departure for Islamabad.
Originally slated to arrive in Pakistan's capital early Wednesday morning, the team was set to play two four-day matches and three 50-over games between August 10 and 27.
However, ongoing unrest in Bangladesh, which began last week, has cast significant doubt on the tour's feasibility.
The situation escalated as Bangladesh's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, stepped down from her position amid mass protests demanding her resignation. This political upheaval has further complicated the logistics and safety concerns surrounding the tour.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has confirmed to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that the men's A cricket team's departure for Islamabad has been delayed by 48 hours due to unforeseen circumstances.
The BCB and PCB have been in regular contact over the past two days and will continue to collaborate on revising the tour itinerary, with further details to be announced in due course.
The first four-day match begins on August 10, followed by the second on August 17. The three ODIs are scheduled for August 23, 25, and 27.
