Bangladesh have reacted too late in trying to have the result of the Asia Cup final overturned, the Pakistan Cricket Boards chief operating officer said on Sunday.A senior official from the Bangladesh Cricket Board said on Saturday that it will ask the Asian Cricket Council to review an incident in the last over of Thursdays final against Pakistan which they believe cost them the game.Pakistan won the final by two runs but Bangladesh say Pakistani bowler Aizaz Cheema, who bowled the final over, deliberately tried to block batsman Mahmudullah and therefore, five penalty runs should be incurred.
We are a bit surprised by this late reaction from the Bangladesh board because we believe if something was wrong the match officials would have taken action on the spot, the PCBs Subhan Ahmed told Reuters.What we fail to understand is why there is this late reaction from the Bangladesh board. But even if they appeal I dont think it will affect relations between the two boards.In the final match, Pakistan had batted first and scored 236 losing 9 wickets while chasing 237 to win, Bangladesh scored 234 for the loss of eight wickets in the stipulated 50 overs.Pakistan, who have not hosted international matches since a gun attack on the Sri Lanka team in 2009, have invited Bangladesh to play a three-match one-day series next month.The PCB is still waiting for a response from the Bangladesh board, which says it will follow any decision made by its government.

Pakistan to host international cricket for first time since 2009
Pakistan will host its first international matches since 2009 when Bangladesh tour at the end of April.
Lahore will host a one-day international on 29 April and a Twenty20 match 24 hours later.
"The public of Pakistan have been deprived of cricket and we felt that we needed to support them," said Bangladesh official Mustafa Kamal.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board president added: "The reception we received when we toured Lahore and Karachi on our security visit was overwhelming."
During the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka team six policemen and the team coach driver were killed, while seven cricketers and an assistant coach were injuredWednesday, March 28, 2012
Pakistan may bar players from BPL
Pakistan will not allow their players to feature in Bangladesh Premier League's second season if the country's cricket board decides against sending its national team for a much-awaited series, according to a Pakistan newspaper.
According to The News, Pakistan's cricket chiefs are extremely unhappy over Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) reluctance to send its team to Pakistan for a limited-overs series that is expected to the pave the path for the return of international cricket in the country.
"Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will block its players' participation in the second edition of BPL in case the Bangladeshis decide against sending their team to Pakistan," a source told the newspaper.
Pakistani cricket stars including their former captain Shahid Afridi were the single biggest reason why the inaugural edition of BPL which concluded on February 29 turned out to be a highly successful event.
Over 20 Pakistani cricketers featured in the BPL, a Twenty20 league that was Bangladesh's version of the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL).
While top Pakistani cricketers like Afridi, Mohammad Hafeez and Saeed Ajmal just played in the final games of the event because of their series against England in the UAE, many of their other compatriots including fast bowler Mohammad Sami and opener Nasir Jamshed finished among BPL's biggest success stories.
BPL teams have roped in Pakistani cricketers for long-term stints but PCB can bar them from playing in the league.
"PCB believes that it has done everything possible for the smooth hosting of a home series against Bangladesh which is why it won't take any decision against the visit lightly," said the source.
"A negative call on the issue by Bangladesh is bound to strain cricketing relations between the two countries and the biggest loser could be the BPL," he added. Pakistan are desperate to host Bangladesh for a limited-overs series in Lahore and Karachi next month in its bid to revive international cricket in the country.
Pakistan have not hosted international teams since March 2009 when Sri Lankan cricketers were ambushed by terrorists in Lahore killing six policeman and a van driver. Several Sri Lankan players and one of their coaches were injured in the attack.
A Bangladeshi delegation visited Pakistan earlier this month to review security arrangements for the proposed series. Mustafa Kamal, the president of Bangladesh Cricket Board, who led the delegation, told senior PCB officials that he was satisfied with the security arrangements.
However, BCB has said that a final decision on the tour hinges on its government clearance.

Rehman humbles England
Spinner Abdur Rehman took six wickets as Pakistan beat England by 72 runs in the second Test on Saturday to clinch the three-match series, bowling out the tourists for 72 in their second innings after another abject batting display.
England, the number one Test side in the world, had earlier dismissed Pakistan for 214 to give themselves a target of 145 to win in Abu Dhabi.
But Andrew Strauss's men again failed to deal with the host's triple spin threat of Rehman, Saeed Ajmal and Mohammad Hafeez.
Rehman ended on 6-25, while Ajmal's figures were 3-22.
"The way the ball was turning it was really difficult to play left-arm spinners on that wicket," Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq told reporters.
"So we were thinking we can put pressure on England and make a match of it.
"It's a big win for us - even in these kinds of conditions to beat the number one side is a big effort from our team."
For England, only Strauss (32) and Matt Prior (18) managed double figures in the second innings, the tourists losing all 10 wickets in the space of 22 overs.
"Those (low) totals are the hardest to chase because you know you are almost there and it's easy to be caught between two stools, whether to be patient and wait for scoring opportunities to appear or to take the bull by the horns," Strauss told reporters.
"It's bitterly disappointing ... having done all that hard work you need to go on and complete the job and we just didn't play well enough, individually and collectively."
Alastair Cook (7) was the first to go, caught and bowled by Hafeez, who stooped to get his fingers to the ball inches from the turf.
Ian Bell (3) came in at number three in place of Jonathan Trott who had been off the field with a stomach complaint and the Warwickshire batsman lasted just three balls before deflecting an Ajmal delivery on to his stumps with an inside edge.
Kevin Pietersen (1) and Eoin Morgan (0) then continued their miserable form, falling to Rehman in the space of three balls.
Pietersen was trapped lbw after lunging forward to defend, while Morgan saw his leg stump felled.
Strauss had earlier escaped, deflecting a Rehman delivery off his bat and pad to Azhar Ali at short leg. Ali sunk to his knees to scoop the ball up before it hit the ground, but the third umpire thought otherwise, earning the England captain what was to prove to be a fleeting reprieve.
Strauss went lbw to Rehman, as did the returning Trott (1), while the slow left-armer clean bowled Broad through the gate as England offered little resistance.
Earlier, Monty Panesar bagged six wickets in his first Test since 2009 as England thrived in the field, but their subsequent collapse was reminiscent of their woes in the first Test in Dubai, when they slumped to 43-5 in their first innings and went on to lose by 10 wickets.

PCB wants to host Bangladesh Test series
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has informed the ICC that it intends to host Bangladesh for a Test series in April in a bid to revive international cricket at home.
A PCB official said that the board was confident of the Bangladesh tour going ahead since the government had also given its assurance of top level security arrangements for the touring side.
"The reason we have kept the ICC in the loop is that even their security experts are aware of the arrangements being made for the Bangladesh team. But primarily this is a bilateral series that has to be finalized between two boards," a PCB official said on Sunday, reports NDTV sports.
"Our main aim is to break the ice of Test teams not coming to Pakistan. If Bangladesh come we will have better chances of convincing other Boards that they also now need to support us," he said.
The PCB sent its chief operating officer Subhan Ahmad recently to Dhaka to personally offer condolences on the sad demise of the chief executive of the Bangladesh Cricket Board Manzur Ahmed.
The official said Subhan had not officially discussed the invitation to Bangladesh Board to send its team to Pakistan but the BCB officials had indicated that they were in the process of getting clearance from their government to send a high level delegation to Pakistan to inspect the security arrangements for their team.
The official, who declined to be named, admitted that the chances of Bangladesh touring Pakistan would depend entirely on the briefing given to their security delegation.
"If their security delegation is satisfied than the tour is on and it will be a big breakthrough for Pakistan cricket," the official said.
No foreign Test team has toured Pakistan since the March 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore.
The official also said that the PCB was not concerned with reports emanating from Bangladesh that some of their players and team officials were not keen on playing in Pakistan because of security concerns.
"That is an internal matter between the Bangladesh board and their team. Our primary concern is that the BCB first clears the tour," he added.
He said that the PCB was also ready to welcome visits by any security experts of the ICC or the Maryleborne Cricket Club (MCC) cricket committee.
"We would welcome such visits because the ICC special task force team on Pakistan did not send a team to Pakistan but if the ICC and MCC decide to send their security delegations even before the Bangladesh tour we would be very happy," he said.

Pak coach candidates not high-profile enough
Pakistan's hunt for a new cricket coach has not attracted many experienced candidates and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) might have to directly approach some high-profile names for the job.
A PCB official confirmed to Press Trust of India that after the expiry of the September 26 deadline for interested candidates to apply, the response had been good but the interested candidates didn't include any high profile figures, reports PTI.
"We have received applications from England and Australia and many from within the country but some of the names we were expecting are not there," the official conceded.
The special committee formed by the PCB to shortlist candidates for the position will meet on September 29 in Karachi to prune the list and shortlist the best possible candidates for recommendation to the board.
The PCB is hunting for a new coach after Pakistan's former Test captain Waqar Younis stepped down following the recent tour to Zimbabwe on personal and health grounds.
"The September 29 meeting is important because we will then go through all the candidates who have applied and see who are the best possible options for our requirements," PCB chief operating officer Subhan Ahmad said.
He didn't rule out the possibility of the committee directly approaching anyone if it was not satisfied with the list of candidates who had applied for the position.
"That is the prerogative of the committee they can hold talks directly with anyone but right now even the board is unaware of who have applied for the post, all we know is they are local coaches and foreigners as well," he said.
The names of high-profile coaches such as Dav Whatmore, Peter Moores, Tom Moody, Mickey Arthur and Tim Nielsen have been reported as possible candidates for the job but Ahmad said the board had not spoken to anyone and neither had anyone approached directly for the position.

PCB wants to prove Akhtar's conduct in court
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) would try to justify the disciplinary action taken by it against Shoaib Akhtar as it has sought permission from the Lahore high court to present excerpts from his autobiography, which the board feels gives a good account of former paceman's own conduct.
Akhtar, who has now retired from international cricket, had filed a writ petition two years back against the 18-month ban and seven million rupees (around $80,000) fine imposed on him by a PCB arbitration tribunal, reports PTI.
Akhtar was provided temporary relief by the court, which suspended the ban, allowing him to resume his international career, but didn't give a ruling on the fine.
PCB got that fine by deducting money from Akhtar's dues with the board and the fast bowler now wants his money back.
A recent scheduled hearing could not held and PCB legal advisor said they have filed an application with the court that when the hearing is held they want permission to submit excerpts of Akhtar's autobiography to prove his conduct.
"We will submit relevant portions of the biography relating to his conduct to confirm to the court that the action taken against him by the arbitration tribunal was justified. We will with the help of the autobiography convince the court about his past conduct," PCB legal advisor Tafazzul Rizvi said.
The biography - 'Controversially Yours' - has caused a storm in India as the book carries some controversial remarks about the Indian players, PCB and his fellow team-mates.
Akhtar's comments about batting icons Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid led to cancellation of book-launch ceremonies in Mumbai and Bangalore.
Akhtar claimed in his book that Tendulkar and Dravid were not match winners in the early days of their respective careers.

Samaraweera axed for Pakistan Tests
Sri Lanka left out experienced middle-order batsman Thilan Samaraweera from a squad of 16 named on Wednesday for the three-match Test series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates next month.
Samaraweera, who turns 35 on Thursday and has an average of over 52 in 68 Tests, was dropped for the third and final Test against Australia which ended in a draw on Tuesday to make way for young opener Lahiru Thirimanne.
Thirimanne opened the batting with Tharanga Paranavitana after captain Tillakaratne Dilshan decided to drop down the order to try and regain form.
Dilshan made an attractive 83 batting in Samaraweera's position at number five and later said that he would prefer batting in that position in the future.
"Thilan will not come into the reckoning in our long term plans," said chairman of selectors Duleep Mendis.
"We intend giving youngsters an opportunity while the seniors are around. He might be considered on a short term basis."
Mendis said spinner Ajantha Mendis was not considered for selection as he was undergoing treatment for a recurring back injury.
The squad comprises all 11 players who played in the final Test against Australia plus five others - batsman Dinesh Chandimal, bowlers Dammika Prasad, Suraj Randiv, Nuwan Pradeep and wicketkeeper Kaushal Silva.
All-rounder Angelo Mathews, named vice captain to Dilshan for the first time, will only play as a batsman.
"Angelo has gone to Australia for treatment for his left knee and we will not risk bowling him in the series," said Mendis.
Sri Lanka play Pakistan in a series of three tests in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah starting on Oct. 18.
Sri Lanka will name a new squad for the five-match one-day international series and one-off Twenty20 at the end of the test series.
SQUAD:
Tillakaratne Dilshan (captain), Angelo Mathews (vice-captain), Tharanga Paranavitana, Lahiru Thirimanne, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Prasanna Jayawardene (wicketkeeper), Dinesh Chandimal, Rangana Herath, Suraj Randiv, Chanaka Welagedara, Suranga Lakmal, Shaminda Eranga, Dammika Prasad, Nuwan Pradeep, Kaushal Silva.

Pakistan could tour Bangladesh in December
Pakistan could tour Bangladesh in December this year as the boards of the two countries discuss the possibility of scheduling a full series when both teams are available. "The two boards have worked closely together to schedule a visit by Pakistan in December which is when both teams will be free from other commitments," Rabeed Imam, the Bangladesh Cricket Board media manager, told the Express Tribune.
"Bangladesh is set to host West Indies from October to November this year but have an extensive window to host Pakistan after that until March next year when we are supposed to host the Asia Cup.
"With December being the only month when Pakistan could play us, a series may be finalised for that time but the schedule is yet to be finalised. The tour may comprise two Tests, three ODIs and a Twenty20 but that's all to be confirmed."
Bangladesh last toured Pakistan in 2008 but since then the two sides have played against each other only twice across all three formats, once each in the World Twenty20 2010 and in the Asia Cup 2010.
Pakistan were scheduled to visit Bangladesh last year but the series was postponed amid reports of differences between the two boards. "The proposed tour by Pakistan at the end of the year is part of the Future Tours Programme one originally scheduled for last August and later moved to 2011-12," Imam said.
"The BCB and the PCB have always been in a cordial and healthy relationship. You may recall that Bangladesh toured Pakistan in 2008 when other teams weren't touring and we returned for the Asia Cup later that year as well."
