Bangladesh are scheduled to play a bilateral Test Series against their Asian Rivals Pakistan and following the political crises in Bangladesh, the Bangladesh National Cricket Team has decided to visit Pakistan earlier than the scheduled time.
Pakistan’s training camp will start at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on August 11, led by red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie and assistant coach Azhar Mahmood. According to Cricbuzz, the PCB is expected to extend Bangladesh’s stay in Rawalpindi for a few extra days and provide them with the necessary training facilities.
In recent matchups, Pakistan started strong, winning their first two Tests against Sri Lanka before hitting a rough patch with two losses against Australia. Meanwhile, Bangladesh managed a single victory over New Zealand but struggled afterward, losing the rematch with the Kiwis and two more against Sri Lanka.
When Bangladesh takes on Pakistan, they are expected to meet with a tough battle, especially on spin-friendly pitches where the challenge only intensifies.
Unlike white ball cricket, Babar Azam will be playing the series as the frontline batter(not as the Captain). Shan Masood has been announced as the skipper of the test side for the Bangladesh Test Series.
