In a surprising development, the Bangladesh A cricket team has arrived in Pakistan for their scheduled tour despite the ongoing political unrest in the country.
The decision to proceed with the tour, which includes two four-day matches and three List A games against Pakistan A, is a significant step forward for cricket relations between the two nations. The Bangladesh senior team is also scheduled to tour Pakistan for a two-match Test series later this month.
The political situation in Bangladesh has been volatile, with widespread protests and a change of government. However, the BCB has decided to proceed with the tour, indicating a strong commitment to the sport.
The Bangladesh A squad includes several key players, including former captains Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque, who will be looking to gain match practice ahead of the Test series.
