Pakistan has called off their trip to Bangladesh because their opponents have not made a reciprocal tour in over nine years.
No major Test playing nation has travelled to Pakistan for an official tour since March 2009, when 10 gunmen fired on a bus carrying Sri Lanka's cricket squad to a Test match in Lahore.
Since then, Pakistan have contested all home matches at neutral venues in the United Arab Emirates.
Pakistan have since travelled to Bangladesh to play international fixtures in 2011 and 2015, and were due to tour again in July and August to play two tests, three ODIs and a Twenty20 International.
But Pakistan have now decided to pull the plug on the trip with PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan making his views very clear.
He said: "Pakistan have now toured Bangladesh twice without them reciprocating, and we feel we cannot tour Bangladesh for the third straight time.
"Therefore, we have decided to postpone the tour, and will explore another window in the next year or so."
Bangladesh last toured Pakistan more than nine years ago. The attack in 2009, which involved 10 gunmen with rifles, grenades and rockets, wounded six players and a British coach, while killing eight Pakistanis.
