LAHORE: The tour of Bangladesh cricket team will obviously play a major role in restoring confidence of other top cricketing nations; this was stated by DG Sports Punjab Adnan Arshad Aulakh in a statement on Friday.

Aulakh said: “We are quite confident that other leading cricket teams will also tour Pakistan in near future after this tour”.
