Pakistan will be compensated by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for missing two tours in 2012, the BCB president Nazmul Hassan confirmed on Saturday.
The development comes after months of deliberations between the two boards in which the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) maintained the stance that it had suffered big losses after Bangladesh twice cancelled its scheduled tours to Pakistan with broadcast right for the series sold.
In meetings over the issue, the PCB argued that Pakistan's upcoming tour to Bangladesh would be a 'home' tour and that revenue should be shared between the two boards as compensation for the cancelled 2012 series.
But the BCB president said that while his board would be willing to compensate the PCB, the upcoming series between the two countries would be solely a Bangladesh 'home' series.
"We have no more conditions with them [PCB]," Hassan said.
"They first demanded 50% revenue and then said this is their home series. I told them this is our home series. They kept repeating that we [Bangladesh] didn't tour Pakistan. I replied that I don't like listening to this in every meeting.
"ICC has a rule for teams that don't tour a country after agreeing to it. I asked them to let us know how much we are supposed to pay for that tour. It could be between $100,000 to $300,000. Whether they use it for plane fare or not, is their concern. We will make the one-time payment for missing that tour."
The BCB said the conditions laid down by the PCB on the issue of revenue sharing were "not realistic" but later said that they could pay tour costs.
BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury said that the board will decide on the amount in the next few days.
"We had few outstanding issues with Pakistan during the last FTP cycle,' Chowdhury told the Dhaka-based New Age.
"Based on that, we agreed to pay the compensation and the amount will be decided in a day or two. The upcoming series will be our home series and standard practice will be maintained for it."
Pakistan's tour of Bangladesh starts from April 17.
