PCB bars players from Bangladesh T20 league

Bangladesh cricket chiefs mentioned yesterday that Pakistan had turned down to release any of its players for the BPL which starts this week after a planned bilateral series had to be scrapped.

Pakistan had been because of host Bangladesh for a Twenty20 match and a 50-over match in Lahore this month in what would’ve been its 1st home internationals since a critical attack on the Sri Lankan squad bus nearly 4 years back.

But the Bangladesh Cricket Board postponed the tour, saying Pakistan wasn’t secure for its players.

As per a BCB spokesperson, Pakistan has now responded by preventing any of its players from competing in the BPL which starts Thursday.
