DHAKA: Bangladesh will replace Pakistan in the tri-nation tournament which will be held in March 2018, SAMAA reported.

The tri-nation series will be held in March 2018 to celebrate Sri Lanka’s 70th Independence Day. It has been named Nidhas Trophy. The tournament will be held from March 15th, 2018 to March 31st, 2018. The teams will face each other twice and the top two teams will play the final.

Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka had played the tournament to celebrate the island-nation’s 50th Independence Day.

President of Sri Lanka Cricket Thilanga Sumathipala said, “We celebrate the 70th year of our independence next year and SLC also completes 70 years in 2018.”

He added, “We are happy that both BCCI and BCB have confirmed their participation for the tri-nation series.”

The Sri Lanka cricket board president also said that they want to invite the Indian and Bangladesh prime ministers for the finals of the tournament. – Samaa

To please India. Its a shame that BD has come down to this. I mean how low will Hasina go to please her Indian masters.

Since the tournament is being held in Sri Lanka, any supposed blame for appeasement should lie against them, and not Bangladesh.

its a sri lankan tournament, why blame BD?

Does Bangladesh want Pakistan to eventually close down our embassy in Dhaka and just operate out of the Pakistan embassy in Delhi instead?

Once again...it is Sri Lanka's decision, not BD's. Your complain lies with them. Close your Colombo High Commission as well in that case.

Probably India might have said that it wouldn't play the tournament if Pakistan is in it.

Bangladesh is not the whole world. Have you seen an atlas lately? Are you for real?

It is getting bizzare now.Pakistanis are now getting habit of blaming Hasina whenever they see Pakistan and Bangladesh in a same article.

It is Sri Lanka's prerogative to invite and host whom they like. India has played Pakistan in multi-national tournaments before and continues to do so. I think they are scheduled to play each other shortly in the Champions Trophy this year.
And I prefer India vs Pakistan to any sporting contest. At least after the match, fans are cordial to each other. BD fans are the worst.

It's okay. They have decided they don't need any friends in South Asia. I guess Sri Lankan Cricket board also takes orders from Hasina now.

From what I have observed here on PDF, they have a two-pronged approach towards Bangladesh. Entice BD with soe pan-Islamic Ummah nonsense on one hand, and if the response is not favourable then get downright racist and insulting. Such a strategy must work wonders.

Yep, true. My mistake.
