Indian Coaches Of Bangladesh Women's Team Won't Travel To Pakistan: BCB

“We will have another team travelling to Sri Lanka almost at the same period. We've decided to send our Indian coaching staff to Sri Lanka instead of Pakistan to avoid any travel complications,” Nizamuddin said.

Amid political tensions between the sub continent neighbors India and Pakistan, Indian coaches from Bangladesh’s women’s cricket staff will not travel to Pakistan for the international series next month, the country’s Cricket Board said Sunday.

The Bangladesh women’s team are scheduled to play Pakistan in three Twenty20 internationals and two one-day internationals from October 26 to November 4 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The tour would only be given a clearance once the security check by the Bangladesh’s government at the venue are up to their satisfaction. The governing body’s chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury that if it goes ahead, head coach Anju Jain, assistant coach Devika Palshikar, and trainer Kavita Pandey will not accompany the side in Pakistan. “We will have another team travelling to Sri Lanka almost at the same period. We've decided to send our Indian coaching staff to Sri Lanka instead of Pakistan to avoid any travel complications,” Nizamuddin said.

“We have started the process. Before confirming the series we are also planning to send someone to see the security arrangement for the Sri Lanka team in their ongoing series.” Sri Lanka men's team is in Pakistan for three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 internationals.
