The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) cancelled plans to become the first cricket team to tour Pakistan since a 2009 attack on Sri Lanka's bus, saying there are fears for players' safety.
The BCB had earlier indicated that they would play a Twenty20 and a one-day on January 12 and 13 respectively, both in Lahore. But officials did say that the decision was subject to a security review.
Pakistan has had to play its 'home' matches in venues ranging from Dubai to London ever since gunmen shot dead eight people and wounded seven Sri Lankan players in an audacious attack near the stadium in Lahore in March 2009.
