The Pakistan men’s cricket team is set to tour Bangladesh for a white-ball series in July, outside the ICC Future Tours Programme (FTP). The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have confirmed the tour, with further details on the schedule and venues to be revealed later.
The arrangement follows a recent meeting between PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and BCB President Faruque Ahmed during Ahmed’s visit to Dubai, coinciding with the ICC Champions Trophy. This development adds a summer series to their planned engagements.
Before this tour, Bangladesh is set to visit Pakistan in May for a series consisting of three ODIs and three T20Is, both part of the FTP. BCB’s Cricket Operations Head, Shahriar Nafees, mentioned that both boards were in positive discussions about this additional white-ball series in July.
Bangladesh also has several upcoming commitments, including a two-Test series against Zimbabwe in April, a home series against Sri Lanka in June-July, and a series against India in August-September. Additionally, the team will participate in the Asia Cup in September and will host the West Indies and Ireland later in the year.
In summary, the Pakistan men’s cricket team will tour Bangladesh in July for a white-ball series, with details yet to be disclosed. This series complements Bangladesh’s existing commitments, including tours to Pakistan and engagements with other teams. The discussions between the PCB and BCB leaders indicate a strong cooperative relationship and a busy schedule ahead for both cricket boards.
