Bangladesh’s senior cricket team will arrive in Pakistan on August 13 after political unrest at home disrupted preparations for the two-match Test series, the PCB announced on Saturday. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has accepted the PCB’s invitation in this regard. Bangladesh will face Pakistan in two Test matches that are part of the ICC World Test Championship. The first match will be played in Rawalpindi from August 21 to 25, while the second match will take place between August 30 and September 3 in Karachi.
PCB Chief Operating Officer Salman Naseer said he was very pleased that the BCB had accepted the invitation.
“Sport is not just about winning and losing but also about camaraderie. I remain confident that the extra training sessions in Lahore will allow the (Bangladesh) players to showcase their skills and talents on the global stage,” Naseer said.
BCB Chief Executive Nizam Uddin Chowdhury thanked the PCB for giving the Bangladesh cricket team the opportunity to have further training in Pakistan.
“This will definitely help the players acclimatize to the conditions and prepare better for the ICC World Test Championship series,” he said.
Bangladesh will train at the Gaddafi Stadium between August 14 and 16, before traveling to Rawalpindi on August 17 to hold training sessions from August 18.
This will be Bangladesh’s first tour to Pakistan since 2020, when they played three T20Is in Lahore and a one-off Test in Rawalpindi.
