Pakistani cricket team in Bangladesh in 2017
The Pakistan cricket team were scheduled to tour Bangladesh in July 2017 to play two Test matches, three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and a Twenty20 International (T20I) match.[1] In March 2017, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) rejected an invitation by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to play two T20I matches in Pakistan ahead of this tour.[2]

In April 2017, the tour was cancelled.[3] The PCB chairman Shahryar Khan said that Pakistan had already toured Bangladesh twice without them reciprocating as the main reason for the postponement.[3][4] Shahryar went on to say they would "explore another window in the next year or so".[3] The chairman of the BCB's media committee said he was "really surprised" at the decision.[5] There was no official communication between the PCB and BCB, with the BCB hearing about the cancellation in the media.[5]
