The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday announced the schedule for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh next month.
Bangladesh last played a Test in Pakistan in February 2020, and hosted the nation in 2021 for a multi-format series.
“We thank the PCB for confirming the schedule for Bangladesh's tour of Pakistan for the ICC World Test Championship matches,” Bangladesh Cricket Board Chief Executive Nizam Uddin Chowdhury said.
“The series presents a significant test for us, but it is also a chance to showcase our progress in this format,” he said.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh men’s cricket team captain Najmul Hossain Shanto stated: “As a team we are looking forward to returning to Pakistan for the ICC World Test Championship.
“Playing in Pakistan is always a challenging but an exciting prospect, and we will have to be at our very best to compete against a formidable home side in their backyard.”
Bangladesh will face Pakistan in two Tests, with the first Test on August 21 in Rawalpindi and the second Test on 30th August in Karachi.
Schedule:
Aug 21-25: First Test, Rawalpindi
