Pakistan Cricket Board proposed Bangladesh Cricket Board to play two-match Test series now and take part in the three-match Twenty20 series later, said Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan said on Wednesday that

‘’We asked them to play Twenty20s but today they proposed us to play Test matches. They said they will play the Twenty20 bilateral series before the Twenty20 World Cup in Pakistan,’’ Nazmul told reporters at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Wednesday.

‘’We informed them that we wanted to play three Twenty20s first and return back home. We told them that we might tour Pakistan later on to play the Tests if we manage to reschedule the tour. But they are more interested in hosting Tests as it is part of ICC Test Championship. They said they have no problem of hosting three Twenty20s later on,’’ he said.

‘’We are yet to make final decision on that. I hope we will take the final decision tomorrow,’’ he said

Bangladesh is scheduled to tour Pakistan in January-February for a three-match T20 and two-match Test series, which is part of the World Test Championship.

Earlier, The BCB had proposed them to host the Test series in a neutral venue, while they were willing to send their team for the three-match Twenty20 series in Pakistan while in reply PCB had stated that they won't compromise with it after BCB send the proposal as they were unwilling to play their home series in a neutral venue.
