Bangladesh are going to visit Pakistan on August 17 to play two Tests under the ICC World Test Championship. Although many cricketers and teams objected to visiting Pakistan in the past, the acceptance of Pakistan as an international venue has increased.

Nonetheless, representatives of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) stated that they had asked the government to provide them a security consultant for the next tour of Pakistan.

The first match between the two teams will start on August 21 in Rawalpindi. Second and final Test will be in Karachi on August 30. In 2009, the Sri Lankan national team was attacked while visiting Pakistan. Since then, Pakistan's security has always been questioned. 

After that international cricket was stopped in Pakistan for a long time but now every country except India is visiting Pakistan. This visit to Bangladesh is also ensuring state-level security, i.e. the highest security system of the state. 

BCB Cricket Operations Committee Chairman Jalal Yunus said, "Look providing safety is up to them (Pakistan) and we go there because they assure us to provide state-level security and after they assured us about it, the tour was fixed. I guess you have seen in the Asia Cup that the Bangladesh team traveled to Pakistan and they provided us state-level security and we agreed to go on this tour because they ensured us of that. You might have seen in recent times that some international teams have also visited [Pakistan] and they are quite happy with the security they provided.”

"We are also very much concerned about the security but after knowing everything and after getting assurance from them regarding the security we have fixed the tour. At the same time we have requested the government to give us a security consultant during the tour who will maintain communication with them at all times regarding the security issues," he added.
