The schedule for the upcoming two-match Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh has been revealed, as confirmed by sources on Thursday.

The Bangladesh cricket team is set to arrive in Pakistan on August 17, with the first Test match scheduled to begin on August 21. The second match of the series will take place from August 30 to September 3.

This series is part of the ICC Test Championship 2023-2025. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, in a media briefing in Lahore, confirmed that the iconic Gaddafi Stadium will not host any matches due to ongoing upgrades. 

As a result, the matches will be played in two of the following three cities: Multan, Karachi, and Rawalpindi.

Historically, Pakistan and Bangladesh have faced each other in 13 Test matches since their first encounter during the Asian Test Championship in 2001. Pakistan holds an undefeated record against Bangladesh, winning 12 matches, with one ending in a draw.
