This is  completely shit from BCB because now Sri Lankan team done very successful tour of Pakistan so they have to face reality and complete their commitment otherwise they are going to lost points and helping Pakistan for staying at no 3 for some time because I check PCB insisting they will not go to UAE for any series.
You cannot judge like that, if the Bangladesh players are worried about the security considering the past experience against cricket players who were attacked by terrorist and because of their luck they were lucky enough to escape without any fatal injury, it is hard to convince any other team to visit Pakistan just like that, let them conduct the PSL completely and gain the confidence of the other nations, life is important than a sport and hence i support the BCB decision.

This is like the pot calling the kettle black. Bangladesh has witnessed its fair share of terrorist attacks during the past few years and the ISIS has managed to build a local chapter in that country. The July 2016 Dhaka attack (Holey Artisan Bakery) left dozens of people dead. On the other hand, Pakistan has been largely free of major terror attacks during the past few years.

According to updates, it seems like BCB will ultimately make a decision of going to Pakistan for the test series:

T20Is first, decision on Tests after that - BCB on Pakistan tour

...the interesting part is, PCB seems to have stuck to their idea of "either come & play or forfeit the series".

I heard that there are some issues ongoing between Pakistan Cricket Board and the BCB regarding the schedule of test matches between the two teams. BCB wants the test matches to be moved to UAE, while the PCB has stated that there is no question of Pakistani home matches taking place in a third country again, given how successfully they organized the Sri Lankan tour.

Since SL tour happened successful now even Pakistan board would not agree to Bangladesh board of shifting the test match because they would like to make revenue for them self and also show the world that they can hosts the game in Pakistan safely now.


After successful tour of Sri Lanka now Pakistan Cricket Board is on upper hand and ICC need to go neutral because if they will not do this then surely its going to hurt spirit of game they have to support and ask Bangladesh go ahead now not threat or any problem here most of things working ok.

I am not sure whether the ICC will deduct points from Bangladesh for their refusal to tour Pakistan. Will they do the same to teams such as England and Australia? I am sure that they will avoid touring Pakistan in the future, making the excuse of risk from terrorist attacks. Also, India hasn't toured Pakistan for more than a decade now. ICC can't make exceptions and punish Bangladesh.

Did Karachi pitch become completely dead during the second inning or what? That scorecard is quite unbelievable TBH.

Rather than the pitch, it was the bowling skills of the Sri Lankan players which died out during the Pakistani second innings. Their bowlers had horrible figures for the match. Look at Lasith Embuldeniya. He bowled 50 overs and took just one wicket (50-4-193-1). The ease at which the Pakistani batsmen scored those runs surprised me. During the last two sessions, the run rate was hovering around 6 to 7 runs per over, and the match looked more like a T20 match.

If the pitch was dead then how come Sri Lanka was sruggling when they were batting in the final innings, Pakistan is a really unpredictable team and we all know that and when the dismal performance continued in the first innings i am sure the Pakistan players were under too much pressure to perform well after conceeding a lead and then the batting was pitch perfect where everyone contributed and when they were confident and Pakistan was able to pick the wickets and finish the match is style and hopefully the batting performance continues in the coming matches.

Really it is an amazing performance from Pakistan team in 2nd innings because we can see all single digits scores from Pakistan in 1st innings an I thoughts this time also going to be one side match but Pakistan change game in their 2nd innings and won the match with 263 runs.

Pakistan won the match by 263 runs, and this win has enabled them to jump from the 6th spot in the 2019–21 ICC World Test Championship to the 3rd place. Right now they have 80 points from 4 matches, with a RpW ratio of 0.765. Sri Lanka is at the 4th spot, with 80 points and RpW ratio of 0.589. The details can be found at the ICC website:

This is good news after very long wait but now Bangladesh drama is on and they are saying they will not play test series in Pakistan and PCB Chairman is insisting this series will be played in Pakistan I am sure BCB is under pressure by BCCI for this all but now this time Bangladesh is going to lost points if they will not tour Pakistan.

This is my understanding.. historically England play more Test match in comparison of other teams.

And it was bilateral series between them (Eng vs NZ) , Test Championship schedule came later. under WTC every team needs to play 6 series, 3 at home and 3 away, its mandatory for everyone. If by any chance it had been part of the WTC then England would have played 1 extra away series.
It is between different teams, 6 series means with 6 different teams and how do you choose between home advantage and away advantage and i did not find a difference in that in the point system, away win must be given more points as it is not an easy task and if you are touring a strong country like Australia or England the possibility of the visiting country to win is difficult, will be boards play smart to arrange series just to win the championships.

It was an incredible win for Pakistan by coming back from behind and winning the match when everyone wrote them off and the funny thing about the ICC World Test championship is that there are no matches that is going on other than Australia and New Zealand and hence they will move to higher positions as long as there is no other matches.

You are right. The format for this World Test championship is really confusing. Some of the matches are being counted as a part of the World Test championship, and some are not. For example, the two-test series between New Zealand and England was not considered as a part of the championship, while the two-test series between India and Bangladesh which went on at the same time was a part of it.

Would this be a miracle ? The way Pakistani started this test match no one would have thought they could be in such a commanding position. I just could not believe what happened at the field today. The unbeatable first wicket record partnership is a treat to watch. After a long time, Pakistan batsmen have shown great batting display in a test match.
I am sure none of the betters would have imagined that Pakistan would come out to bat in the second innings like that and the top players will score a century each and post a huge total on the board and it is a complete turn of events from the first two days where Pakistan was not even in the game and now they just need 3 more wickets to win the match and they have an entire day to finish off the Sri Lankan players.
Only three wickets needed but still opener is at the crease, will there be an another miracle happen in this match or SL already felt their loss in this match?



As expected, Pakistan won the match very comfortably by 263 runs and Abid Ali was declared Player of the match. SL team 4 batsman were out for no score and last man did not got chance to score and was not out. So, it means 5 players were on a score of 0. So how will team chase such a score if players are getting out without any score.

No one is going to deny the fact that Pakistan is having a lot of talent. But their problem is with consistency. They would play like world champions today, and will lose to Zimbabwe tomorrow. But one thing that I have noticed over the years is that they have been very good in identifying teenage talent. Naseem Shah has taken 3/31 so far in the second innings and he is only 16 years old. Shaheen Shah Afridi was also 17 years old, when he first represented Pakistan. The PCB needs to make sure that these players get all possible support.
