PCB reveal ODI series venues against Bangladesh

The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the venues for the upcoming one-day international series against Bangladesh.

The PCB have arranged the series after Cricket Australia decided to postpone their tour to Pakistan because of security fears, which have escalated since the death of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in December.

Confirming the tour venues, a PCB spokesman told the Daily Times: "The Bangladesh Cricket Board has agreed for the tour which is being arranged to fill the gap caused due to Australia's pull-out from their scheduled tour earlier this month."

The spokesman added: "The Bangladesh team will play their first two games in Lahore followed by matches in Multan, Faisalabad and Karachi. The Twenty20 game will also be played in Karachi."

The Tigers are currently involved in a three-match one-day international series against Ireland and will arrive in Pakistan to play five ODIs and a Twenty20 International between April 6 and 22.

The PCB is also holding talks with Sri Lanka Cricket to host another ODI series in May.
