Bangladesh cricketers came to the field to start preparation for cricket matches ahead, but what they did first was not related to cricket.

On Wednesday in Mirpur, Bangladeshi cricketers observed a one-minute silence in memory of the victims of the recent government crackdowns on anti-quota protesters and subsequent violence that left around 400 dead, which eventually led to the ousting of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, reports UNB.
The Bangladesh 'A' team was originally scheduled to depart for Pakistan on August 6th to play two four-day matches and three 50-over matches against Pakistan 'A'.

However, the tour was postponed due to the country's prevailing situation. The revised departure date is August 9th.

This delay has necessitated changes to the bilateral series schedule. The first four-day match was initially slated to begin on August 10th, followed by the second on August 18th.The three 50-over matches were scheduled for August 23rd, 25th, and 27th.

During the one-minute silence, Test cricketers like Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Khaled Ahmed were present.

Both boards are now working on creating a new schedule.
