Here’s the likely schedule for the Pakistan Vs Bangladesh T20 series.
The Pakistan men’s cricket team’s upcoming tour of Bangladesh is starting to take shape, with the proposed schedule of the T20 series reportedly being made known to insiders.
According to the head of Dawn Sports, Abdul Ghaffar, the three-match series will be played on July 20, 22, and 24.
An official announcement regarding venues and match timings is expected soon from the Pakistan Cricket Board, but the dates have reportedly been locked in, confirming Pakistan’s return to Bangladesh nearly two months after the Tigers’ tour of Pakistan.
The upcoming series offers both teams a vital opportunity to recalibrate their T20 units with an eye on the World Cup next year.
For Pakistan, the tour will be Mike Hesson’s first assignment outside of home comforts after he helped them blank Bangladesh 3-0 in his first T20 series in charge earlier this month.
Pakistani cricket players are currently going through a skills development camp in Lahore, and the PCB is expected to finalise the squad from the same pool of players in the coming weeks.
While Shaheen Afridi is expected to return, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are likely to remain on the sidelines as Mike Hesson keeps faith with the youngsters.
As the countdown begins for the series, all eyes will be on squad announcements and whether either side chooses to experiment or stick with experience.
Regardless, the contest promises competitive cricket between two sides in transition, both eager to reset their T20 trajectories.
