KARACHI: Pakistan is still to commit to the World Twenty20 and the Asia Cup in Bangladesh in March and will consult the government about sending a team due to the continuing political unrest in the host nation.

A Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official told Reuters on Thursday that his organisation was concerned about the situation because many of the protests in Bangladesh were being aimed at his country.

The board will consult ICC, ACC and Pakistan government regarding their participation in Asia Cup and ICC World T20 championship being staged there, said a statement issued after a meeting was held at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore under the chairmanship of Najam Sethi.

The inter-management committee of the cricket board was given a detailed briefing on the upcoming tournaments scheduled in Bangladesh.

The committee was also briefed on the current status with regard to the litigation in Islamabad High Court (IHC)– Reuters/APP
