Bangladesh is already scheduled to tour Pakistan in May for three ODDs and three T20Is according to ICCS Future Tours Program (FTP). After the recent conversations between BCB chief Faruque and his PCB counterpart Mohsin Naqvi on the Champions Trophy sidelines, a mutual whiteball tour has been agreed for a window in July and August, Faruque said.

“PCB told us they would tour Bangladesh outside FTP,” Faruque said on Saturday. “There may be a short tour of July that we have mostly confirmed. We will inform you when we end it.

“I’ve also talked about Bangladesh being part of one [Pakistan] TRI series in the future, no matter where it is, if it is held at an appropriate time for us. “

After Bangladesh’s Champions Trophy Group-Phase output said Faruque that BCB will start looking at Bangladesh’s structure for the next 50-over World Cup to be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia in 2027. ”The board will give its policy [for 2027]. I think someone like Najmul Abedin Faheem [head of the BCB’s men’s cricket operations committee] is an experienced person to take care of the Operations Committee. We will discuss how to take cricket forward. “

“We will try to appoint a captain among those who recently have captained the team. We will soon come to a decision and you will know,” he said.

“I remember how he started in 2005 and then played an important role in the World Cup in 2007. The path he has shown is ideal for the younger generation.”
