The Pakistan men’s cricket team will tour Bangladesh for a white-ball series in July, confirmed by PCB and BCB discussions. Details will be announced later. This occurs alongside Bangladesh’s scheduled series against Pakistan in May and various other international commitments.
The Pakistan men’s cricket team is set to tour Bangladesh for a white-ball series in July, which is not part of the ICC Future Tours Programme (FTP). The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have finalized this arrangement, although specific details regarding the schedule and venues will be announced later.
This new series follows recent discussions between PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and BCB President Faruque Ahmed during Ahmed’s trip to Dubai amid the ICC Champions Trophy. During these discussions, both boards expressed optimism about the proposed additional series.
Additionally, Bangladesh has commitments for a three-match ODI and T20I series scheduled in May, as part of the FTP, where they will tour Pakistan. The BCB Cricket Operations Head, Shahriar Nafees, had indicated earlier that both cricket boards were engaged in positive dialogues concerning the July white-ball series.
Looking ahead, Bangladesh’s cricket schedule includes a two-Test series against Zimbabwe in April, a home series against Sri Lanka during June and July, and a series against India in August and September. They are also slated to participate in the Asia Cup in September and will host teams from the West Indies and Ireland later in the year.
In summary, the Pakistan men’s cricket team is confirmed to tour Bangladesh for a white-ball series in July outside the ICC FTP. This series follows productive discussions between the PCB and BCB officials, with more details to be revealed. Bangladesh’s cricket calendar is also packed with various international engagements throughout the year, indicating an active season ahead for the team.
