ICC declines comments on BD tour

International Cricket Council (ICC) refusing to comment on Bangladesh's tour of Pakistan said that any talks about it would be premature.

Talking exclusively to  ICC's spokesman Sami-ul-Hassan Burney that the Council would announce its plans after BD's tour of Pakistan.

The ICC has no role regarding security issues during BD's Pakistan's visit- the security matters would have to be settled by the Cricket Boards of the two countries, he added.

ICC plays role in the security matters pertaining to its own events, he added.

Pakistan has invited Bangladesh for a tour in April. A security delegation of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCP) lead by its chief Mustafa Kamal visited Pakistan and returned extremely sataisfied with the security arrangements.

BCP would present its report of the its government which would make final decision about BD's tour Pakistan.
