Coronavirus: Final leg of Bangladesh’s tour of Pakistan called off

The Pakistan and Bangladesh cricket boards have agreed to postpone the upcoming third leg of their series, of one ODI and Test in Karachi in early April, in light of growing concerns around the spread of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) and travel restrictions around the world.

The boards will explore windows to complete the series as well as fit in a Test match, scheduled for March 2021, reports ESPNcricinfo.

The Bangladesh squad was due to arrive in Karachi on March 29 to play an ODI on April 1 and the second World Test Championship match from April 5.

Meanwhile, the PCB has also indefinitely postponed the domestic Pakistan Cup one-day tournament, featuring six provincial teams, which was scheduled to start on March 25.
