"A fresh itinerary will be announced later."
Bangladesh witnessed a bloody mutiny in the capital Dhaka last week by soldiers of the Bangladesh Rifles that left 74 people, including 56 army officers dead.
The decision to call off the tour comes two days after the Sri Lankan cricket team was attacked by armed gunmen in the Pakistani city of Lahore, which injured seven players and the team's assistant coach.
Pakistan and Bangladesh are co-hosts of the 2011 World Cup alongwith India and Sri Lanka.
