Bangladesh and Pakistan will meet again in 2012
Bangladesh are set to be the first team for more than three years to tour Pakistan, Bangladesh Cricket Board president Mustafa Kamal has announced.
No international cricket has been played in Pakistan since the terrorist attack on the Sri Lanka team in March 2009, however Bangladesh have agreed to tour the country in April 2012, providing a security inspection is passed.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board will conduct a security inspection of Pakistan in January, BCB president Kamal announced.
"My board agreed to form a security committee to visit Pakistan in January 2012 to review their security measures so as to ensure proper security arrangements are in place prior to arrival of Bangladesh team in Pakistan," he said in a statement.
"My board further agreed that Bangladesh cricket team will visit Pakistan in April 2012 as per ICC's future tours programme.
"I hope this way, slowly and gradually, international cricket will come back to Pakistan."
