Pakistan's security officer recently visited Bangladesh to check the security situation and he was satisfied after which Pakistan confirmed the participation.

Cricket fans are happy with the announcement of PCB because Pakistan are defending champions of Asia Cup and without their participation the event would have become really dull.
