Bangladesh cricketers observed a one-minute silence Wednesday in Mirpur in memory of the victims of the recent government crackdowns on anti-quota protesters and subsequent violence that left around 400 dead, which eventually led to the ousting of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
The Bangladesh “A” team were originally scheduled to depart for Pakistan Tuesday to play two four-day matches and three 50-over games against their Pakistan counterparts.
However, the tour was postponed due to the country's prevailing situation.
The revised departure date is Friday.
This delay has necessitated changes to the bilateral series schedule.
The first four-day match was initially slated to begin Saturday, followed by the second from August 18.
The three 50-over games were scheduled for August 23, 25, and 27 respectively.
During the one-minute silence, Test cricketers like Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehedi Hasan Miraz and Khaled Ahmed were present.
Both boards are now working on creating a new schedule.
