Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan Tuesday urged star batsman Mushfiqur Rahim to change his mind and tour Pakistan next month.
Mushfiqur hit an unbeaten 203 in Bangladesh's big win over Zimbabwe in the one-off Test in Dhaka but had cited safety concerns to skip the first two parts of a three-leg tour of Pakistan.
Hassan told reporters that Mushfiqur had not informed the board of his decision about the final leg.
"But I hope he will go (to Pakistan)," Hassan said.
"Every contracted player should go. Family is important for everybody, but country is more important."
