Dhaka: The Test series between Bangladesh and Pakistan scheduled for later this month may be canceled. This decision has been taken due to the deepening tension between Iran and America. In the end of January, Bangladesh players will go to Pakistan to play a 3-match T20 series, but this tour will now be ended as soon as possible.

Bangladesh Cricket Board chairman Najmul Hasan said on Sunday that the recent tension between Iran and the US is the main reason behind the decision, as the government has allowed the board to send the team for a short period only. Hasan told the press after a meeting that, "The current situation in the Middle East is certainly different than at other times. So considering the escalation of tensions in that region, the Bangladesh government gave us a tour as soon as possible asked to finish it. "
