Islamabad, Mar 27 (ANI): Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Zaka Ashraf has said his country has "a couple of other options" if Bangladesh's national team fails to receive government clearance to tour next month because of security concerns.
"I don't want to disclose the names of the countries, but we are in touch with at least two (cricket) boards," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Ashraf, as saying.
"If Bangladesh says no, we have a couple of other options too," he added.
Bangladesh's cricket board had submitted a security report on Pakistan to its government after President Mustafa Kamal led a nine-member delegation to the country earlier this month.
Although Kamal had said before leaving Pakistan that he was satisfied with the security arrangements, the Bangladesh government has not given its consent to it as of now.
"I talked to him (Mustafa Kamal) in Bangladesh during the Asia Cup and he told me he was committed, but I will make a formal announcement after the security report is cleared by his government," Ashraf said.
Foreign teams have not toured Pakistan since gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in March 2009, killing six police officers and a van driver. (ANI)
