The threat to their Test status in the proposed shake-up in world cricket having been averted, Bangladesh Cricket Board today said that his country will play against India, England and Australia in the next two years.
BCB President Nazmul Hassan said he hoped to sign the Members Participation Agreements (MPA) by February 8 with the three countries to confirm the tours.
"We will be in a better position than others. We haven't been to India in 14 years. We will go there to play Tests, they will come here too. We will go to England; Australia will come here," Hassan said during a press conference in Mirpur.
He said the three Boards had asked BCB for a slot, which he said the BCB will send within the next three days.
"Our main issues were playing Tests. How we are going to solve this? Some of them gave dates, whether we will go or they'll come. We hope to sign them by February 8," he said.
"They asked us for our time. We will let them know our possible slots in the next three days. One thing is for sure, there will be more cricket. Within two years, we hope to play against everyone.
"FTP didn't have a legal basis. Now, there will be a Members Participation Agreement, which is enforceable by law, despite what anyone says or does now. What they are trying to say is that (they will be protected), for example, if a team wants to play just two Tests when they were supposed to play five. Then the TV broadcasters will take me to court for not playing five Tests. The MPA will come into force now to stop this," he added.
