The reason Pakistan players are sitting tight at home instead of being in Bangladesh is because even their neighbour has refused the tour, citing security reasons.
Bangladesh recently witnessed mutiny within its own army that caused the loss of many a life. Perhaps not wanting to incur more trouble and in the aftermath of the shoot out on the Sri Lankan cricketers outside the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Bangladesh decided against Pakistan touring their country.
Now with still no new itinerary in sight, and peace being far from the mind in Pakistan, their cricketers will now undergo a period of serious dearth, after already witnessing it once over the past one year.
