The Bangladesh cricket team is set to tour Pakistan soon for a Test series, alongside the Bangladesh 'A' team, which will also play a series against Pakistan Shaheens. For this upcoming series, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced three separate squads.

All-rounder Mosaddek Hossain makes a return as the first four-day match squad includes cricketers like Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan, and Anamul Haque Bijoy. National team wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim is also in this squad, along with Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Rejaur Rahman Raja.
