Lahore
The Pakistan U-19 cricket team’s tour to Bangladesh has been called off due to a rise in Covid-19 cases in Bangladesh, which has caused an extension of a nationwide lockdown in the country.
The Pakistan U-19 team was originally scheduled to fly out to Dhaka from Lahore tomorrow (April 11) for the one four-day and five 50-over matches.
After the Bangladesh government announced a nationwide lockdown at the start of this month, the departure of the team was rescheduled for Saturday, April 17.
However, since the Covid-19 situation in Bangladesh has not improved, the lockdown has been further extended by the Bangladesh government, causing an indefinite postponement of the Pakistan U-19 team’s tour.
Both cricket boards will now look for a new window for the tour when the situation improves in Bangladesh.—APP
