Bangladesh have come up with a strong 16-men squad to tour Pakistan. Taskin last played a Test in June 2023 but took a break from red-ball cricket to focus on recovering from a shoulder injury. Recently, he expressed a desire to return to red-ball cricket, and the BCB believes he is fit enough to handle the demands of the longer format.
The selection panel chose Shakib Al Hasan and Shoriful Islam despite their long absence from Test cricket. Their return to the squad significantly strengthens the bowling department on Pakistani soil.
Taijul and Miraz have been the backbone of Bangladesh’s spin attack for quite some time, with more than 350 wickets combined. Bangladesh will also rely on Shanto, Litton Das, and the rest of the batting lineup to perform well, as it will take a collective team effort to compete effectively against Pakistan.
The surfaces in Pakistan are again expected to be batting-friendly and this could lead to batting-heavy contests between the two teams in the upcoming series. However, there is always something for pacers. Below is the Bangladesh Squad For Pakistan Tour 2024:
