Bangladesh-Pakistan cricket series: Bubbling enthusiasm and excitement

Bangladesh-Pakistan cricket series gets underway on April 15. Two teams will play three ODIs, one T20 and two Tests with each other. There is a lot of enthusiasm about the series - with the three-match One-Day series generating highest excitement. Bangladesh featured in a couple of memorable performances in the recently-concluded World Cup Cricket. All the matches of Pakistan-Bangladesh-Pakistan series, except the first Test match, will be played in Dhaka; the first Test will be played in Khulna. I think some international matches should be played outside Dhaka so that more and more youth are attracted to cricket. I hope the Tigers will start from where they left at the World Cup. Although Pakistan are favourite to win the series, the Tigers will have a fair chance as the matches will be played on their home soil where they will receive huge public support. I hope the whole series will be played in true cricketing spirit and without any controversy as cricket is known as a gentleman's game.
