PCB confirms Bangladesh tour of Pakistan for T20I series

In a major breakthrough for regional cricket, Pakistan and Bangladesh have officially agreed on a T20I series following high-level talks between the two boards.

The development comes after a meeting between Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Chairman Nazmul Abedin and President Faruque Ahmed.

Bangladesh’s national team is set to visit Pakistan this month for a three-match T20I series.

All matches will be played at Lahore's Gaddafi stadium, with official schedule expected soon.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi expressed his appreciation to his Bangladeshi counterparts for finalizing the tour.

“We are grateful to the BCB leadership for their trust and cooperation. This series is another positive step in strengthening cricketing ties between our nations,” he said.

The PCB had hoped to host matches in Faisalabad as well, but it seems revival of cricket in Faisalabad will have to wait.

Reports initially suggested that multiple Bangladeshi players have expressed hesitation about playing a full five-match series due to continuous cricketing commitments.
