Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo has said he's willing to tour Pakistan, provided that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) gives the green signal for the tour, according to media.
Bangladesh are scheduled to tour Pakistan for three T20Is and two Tests later this month. However, there is uncertainty surrounding the tour, with the BCB president Nazmul Hassan saying there were some among the party unsure of touring Pakistan.
Nazmul recently said that the players and the coaching staff have expressed their concern over touring Pakistan, and added that would be difficult to go ahead with the Test series in 'a suffocating environment' due to the stringent security measures. Pakistan, however, is adamant to play Test at home.
Domingo said that some members of the team management have declined to tour Pakistan but insisted that he is ready to make himself available if BCB decides to send the team.
"I think some guys [of the team management] are not keen to go. But if we have to, then I am going," he was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
"I think we can only discuss the matter once the decision is made. We need to discuss with the cricket board and the board will decide what will happen next," the South African added.
Apart from Domingo, the Bangladeshi coaching staff includes three other South Africans - batting consultant Neil McKenzie, fielding coach Ryan Cook and newly appointed physiotherapist Julian Calefato. The other members are New Zealand's Daniel Vettori who is the spin consultant, Indian analyst Shrinivaas Chandrasekaran and strength and conditioning coach Mario Villavarayan from Sri Lanka.
