LAHORE: Pakistan will not tour Bangladesh this year as per schedule, said the chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Shaharyar Khan on Wednesday.

The PCB chairman said the series has been postponed indefinitely by mutual consent.

Pakistan was scheduled to play two Test matches, three One-day Internationals and a Twenty20 International on the tour of  Bangladesh in July and August this year.

"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", said Shaharyar Khan.

Bangladesh last toured Pakistan in 2007-08, for a five-ODI series. Since then, Pakistan have toured Bangladesh twice since, in 2011-12 and 2015.
