The Pakistan and Bangladesh cricket boards have decided to postpone the upcoming one-day international and Test in Karachi for a later date, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement on Monday.
The two boards will now work together to identify a future opportunity to complete the ICC World Test Championship commitment. The first Test of the series was played in Rawalpindi from 7-10 February, which Pakistan won by an innings and 44 runs.

Earlier, the PCB had accepted the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) request to reschedule a one-off ODI to allow its team more time to prepare for the second Test between the two sides.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has also indefinitely postponed the Pakistan Cup one-day tournament, which was scheduled to start from March 25.
