BD U-19 tour to Pakistan revived

Published November 13, 2007

DHAKA, Nov 12: The Bangladesh under-19 side will tour Pakistan after being given assurances about their security, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said on Monday.

“The team will now leave Dhaka for Pakistan on Friday next as situation improved there,” the BCB said in a statement.

Bangladesh postponed the tour last week over security concerns after Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf imposed emergency rule in the country on Nov 3.—Reuters
