Islamabad/Dhaka: The final leg of Bangladesh’s tour of Pakistan, which involved a test match and a one-day international (ODI) next month, has been postponed in the light of growing concerns around COVID-19, the cricket boards said.

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

“The two boards will now work together to identify a future opportunity to complete the ICC World Test Championship commitment,” the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement.

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

Bangladesh toured Pakistan in January to play three Twenty20 Internationals before returning last month to play the first test in Rawalpindi, which the hosts won by an innings and 44 runs.

Although, much of sports events around the world have been canceled or postponed following the pandemic, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has continued to run after getting permission from the government of Punjab. But, they are being played behind closed doors to empty stands. The schedule has also been changed, with officials, knocking off four days off the original.

However, the PCB has indefinitely postponed the domestic Pakistan Cup one-day tournament. It featured six provincial teams, which was scheduled to start on March 25 and run until April 24, with matches played in Karachi, Multan, Lahore and Faisalabad.
