Revised tentative schedule for Pakistan-Bangladesh T20I series announced

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) are expected to hold a three-match T20I series in Lahore between May 27 and 31, according to recent developments.

Initially planned as a five-match series across Faisalabad and Lahore, the tour has reportedly been shortened to three games, with Faisalabad no longer included as a host venue.

Sources suggest that hesitation within the Bangladesh squad led to uncertainty over the tour. To address the situation, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi traveled to Dubai for meetings with BCB officials. After extended discussions, both boards appear to have reached a mutual understanding to proceed with a revised, shortened series.

Tentative schedule for Pakistan-Bangladesh T20I series: 

• 27 May – 1st T20I, Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore – 8:00 PM
• 29 May – 2nd T20I, Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore – 8:00 PM
• 31 May – 3rd T20I, Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore – 8:00 PM

Pakistan has dominated past T20I encounters between the two sides, winning 16 of 19 matches. Their last meeting came during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Adelaide.

An official announcement from the PCB is awaited to confirm the final schedule.
