TheBangladesh cricket teamtoured Pakistan in January and February 2020 to play oneTest matchand threeTwenty20 International(T20I) matches against thePakistan cricket team.[1][2]The Test series formed part of the inaugural2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship.[3]
After lengthy discussions by both cricket boards with the threat of Bangladesh not touring Pakistan, the tour schedule was finally agreed on 14 January 2020.[4]The tour itinerary was split into three legs,[5]with the T20Is taking place in January inLahore,[6]followed by the first Test in early February inRawalpindi.[7]Pakistan won the T20I series 2–0, with the third match abandoned due to rain.[8]Pakistan won the first Test by an innings, to take a 1–0 lead in the series.[9]
Bangladesh were then scheduled to return to Pakistan in April after the conclusion of2020 Pakistan Super Leagueto play a one-offOne Day International(ODI) match and a second Test match with both fixtures to be played inKarachi.[10]Originally, the ODI match was not included in theInternational Cricket Council's (ICC)Future Tours Programme.[11]However, on 16 March 2020, the third leg of the tour was called off due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[12][13]Both cricket boards were looking at a window in the future schedule to play the remaining matches.[14]In July 2020, theInternational Cricket Council(ICC) confirmed it was their priority to reschedule the match, along with the five other World Test Championship series that had beenpostponed due to the pandemic.[15]In September 2020, the PCB initially announced that they were planning to host the postponed Test match in October 2020.[16]However, the PCB issued a further statement saying it would be postponed until the 2021–22 season, due to a busy fixture schedule.[17]
Background
[edit]In November 2019, after Pakistan gained agreement to host a home Test seriesagainst Sri Lanka,thePakistan Cricket Board(PCB) requested that this series was also played in Pakistan.[18]However, some Bangladeshi players expressed their concern of visiting Pakistan for three weeks.[19]In December 2019, the PCB proposed playing one of the Test matches as aday/nightfixture inKarachi.[20]In response, theBangladesh Cricket Board(BCB) suggested that they would only play the T20I series in Pakistan,[21]with the Test matches played at a neutral venue.[22]The BCB were awaiting on security assessments from their government before the tour itinerary was confirmed.[23]
Ehsan Mani,Chairman of the PCB, stated that Pakistan did not want to play any future home matches at neutral venues.[24]On 14 December 2019,Nazmul Hassan,President of the BCB, said that he was hopeful that the team would get the necessary security clearance to tour Pakistan.[25]However, on 18 DecemberWasim Khan,the CEO of the PCB said that Bangladesh were still reluctant to play the Test matches in Pakistan, wishing only play the T20Is in the country.[26]Azhar Ali,captain of Pakistan's Test side said "there is no excuse not to come", with team coachMisbah-ul-Haqcalling it "a great injustice" with regards to the delay from the BCB.[27]Following the success of the home Tests against Sri Lanka, Ehsan Mani maintained the PCB's position of playing future matches in Pakistan saying "all of Pakistan's matches, against Bangladesh or anyone else, will take place in Pakistan".[28]The BCB reiterated their position saying that they will only play the T20Is in Pakistan, and would make a decision on the Test matches after that.[29]Russell Domingo,head coach of the Bangladesh team, said that he was willing to travel to Pakistan, if the BCB agreed to touring the country.[30]Despite the perceived concerns of playing in Pakistan, twenty three Bangladesh cricketers had registered for thedraftfor the2020 Pakistan Super League.[31]
On 7 January 2020, the BCB began to take consent from their players to travel to Pakistan,[32]with a final decision from Bangladesh expected on 12 January following their board meeting.[33]The following day, the PCB revised its offer, proposing that only the two Test matches would be played in January and February.[34]The PCB also proposed playing the T20I matches at a later date, closer to the2020 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[35]Following their board meeting, the BCB confirmed that their government had agreed to a tour of Pakistan.[36]However, they stated that it should be a short tour with T20I matches only, citing the tensions in the Middle East.[37]Nazmul Hassan announced that he would travel toDubaion 13 January 2020 to meet withShashank Manohar,the chairman of the ICC, to discuss the implications of not playing the Test matches.[38]Ehsan Mani also met with Nazmul Hassan following the ICC meeting to discuss the situation.[39]The following day, both cricket boards agreed to a three-leg tour of Pakistan, starting with a three-match T20I series.[40]However,Mushfiqur Rahim,Bangladesh's T20Iwicket-keeper,said that he would not be travelling to Pakistan for the T20I matches.[41]The BCB also confirmed that five members of their coaching staff would also not be travelling for the T20I series.[42]The BCB named their squad for the T20I leg on 18 January 2020,[43]with the PCB confirming the match officials for the fixtures three days later.[44]
On 9 February 2020, the PCB proposed the idea of playing the second Test match as aday/nightfixture.[45]The PCB's CEO, Wasim Khan, said that "with Test cricket returning to Pakistan now and many countries also going towards day and night Tests, we want to give our players maximum exposure".[46]However, two days later the BCB declined the offer to play a day/night Test match.[47]The BCB's chief executive officer, Nizamuddin Chowdhury, said that the team was not yet ready to play a day/night Test due to lack of preparation.[48]
