This PAK vs BAN series will begin with the first game to be held at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on August 21.



Shan Masood will be back as the captain, while Saud Shakeel has been given the responsibility to assist him as vice-captain. <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/">Pakistan </a>are in the mix for qualifying for a place in the World Test Championship 2023-25 final.



They are placed fifth on the table after losing the Test <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-series/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-series/">series </a>against Australia 0-3 last year. However, they will be playing nine Test matches in the coming few months. Seven of them are home matches, which gives Pakistan a chance to do well and move up on the WTC table.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PAK vs BAN: Pakistan release Abrar Ahmed and Kamran Ghulam release ahead of the first Test</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Abrar-Ahmed-PAK-vs-BAN-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-145746" /></figure>



<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/">Pakistan </a>have picked up a pace-heavy attack, and now they have released spinner Abrar Ahmed and top-order batter Kamran Ghulam from the squad. It indicates the plan of the hosts, as they are looking to go with an all-out pace heavy bowling attack in the first test.



Abrar and Kamran will join <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/">Pakistan </a>Shaheens for the second four-day clash against Bangladesh A. This four-day match will take place on August 20 in Islamabad. The first four-day game ended in a draw. Abrar has been in and out of the team for a while now but hasn't gotten many chances to play.

https://twitter.com/TheRealPCB/status/1824746504038363136

Hence, the Pakistani management wants to give the spinner sufficient time, which he can get by playing the game against Bangladesh A. On the other hand, Kamran will be leading <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/">Pakistan </a>Shaheens in this game. These two will join the team ahead of the second PAK vs BAN Test in Lahore. The second PAK vs BAN game will start on August 30.



A number of players like Sarfaraz Ahmed, Saud Shakeel, <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/mir-hamza-556684" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/mir-hamza-556684">Mir Hamza</a>, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Naseem Shah, and Saim Ayub, who were part of the first four-day game, have now joined the team. Hence, to compensate, Abrar and Kamran have joined Shaheens with Imam Ul Haq, Ali Zaryab, Niaz Khan, Qasim Akram, Mohammad Awais Anwar, Sharoon Siraj, and Rohail Nazir.

The IND vs ENG 3rd ODI currently played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad marked a special sight witnessed by fans who have adorned the stands as well as those who are watching online, as all are curious to know about the ongoing incident in the match. 
The fans were greeted with the unique sight at the<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narendra_Modi_Stadium"> Narendra Modi Stadium</a> as both Indian and England stars took to the field wearing green armbands on the 12th of February. Never-seen-before green bands have stirred doubt into the heads of fans, as the black bands worn before have often signified a mark of tribute. 
<h2 dir="ltr">The real truth behind BCCI’s unique initiative</h2>

The special initiative marked a revolutionary move from new ICC Chairman Jay Shah and was backed by the Indian Cricket Board, BCCI. This green band signifies an awareness program on the importance of organ donation. 
Before the beginning of the match, Indian head coach <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gautam_Gambhir">Gautam Gambhir</a> decided to pledge his organs to the ‘Get a Life’ campaign, a unique resolve to spread awareness for the donation of organs. While the likes of players like Mohammed Shami, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill also voiced their support in favor of the video. 
As a result of this campaign, Gunjan Umang Dani and Deepti Vimal Shah, two of the organ recipients, accompanied the two skippers of the Indian and English teams during the toss. This raises the information about organizing the organ donation drive in the city of Ahmedabad.

The morning of 12th February started off on the worst possible note for Indian fans as they were shocked after hearing the news of Team India's elite seamer Jasprit Bumrah being ruled out of the Champions Trophy 2025. A lot of fans were really sad and unhappy but something else happened which triggered them even more. 
The National Cricket Academy (NCA) revealed the medical report of the pacer and as soon as the report came out, a stir was created on social media. It's reported that Bumrah is completely fit and despite this, he has been excluded from Team India's squad for the marquee ICC event of this year. Let's take a look at who is the person responsible behind taking such a huge call. 
<h2>Bumrah is completely fit</h2>
The NCA is the place where injured Indian players go to complete their rehabilitation under the supervision of a highly skilled medical team and Bumrah was present at the NCA too. According to a news report of the PTI, the NCA had declared the 31-year-old completely fit, however, match fitness of the pacer was a completely different benchmark of concern. 
According to the report, Bumrah has not yet bowled with full intensity in a competitive environment, due to which fielding him in the tournament was a huge risk &amp; gamble. 
<h2>Who took the decision of leaving out Bumrah? </h2>
A top official of the BCCI told PTI, " His (Bumrah) medical scan report was clear and he had completed his rehabilitation process as per schedule. However, the NCA let the selectors make the final decision on the inclusion of Bumrah in the team as he had not taken part in any sort of match-condition". 
In accordance to this statement, we get to know that the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee is the one who decided to leave out Bumrah from the Champions Trophy squad as they didn't want to take a risk with him and feared he might pick up a bigger injury. 
<h2>Who has replaced Jasprit in India's Champions Trophy squad? </h2>
On the night of February 11, the BCCI gave an update on the changes in the Champions Trophy. Declaring Jasprit Bumrah injured, the BCCI has included Harshit Rana in the squad in his place. Apart from this, young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal was also dropped from the squad, but Varun Chakraborty got a chance in his place. Shivam Dube is also not a part of the team.
<h2>Champions Trophy 2025: Team India's full confirmed squad</h2>
Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (WK), Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill (Vice-Captain), Rishabh Pant (WK), Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Shami and Varun Chakaravarthy.

Indian superstar batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shubman_Gill">Shubman Gill</a> made a statement comeback to ODI cricket ever since his return to the format after a long gap against England in the ongoing 3-match ODI series. The opening batter has been a star performer for India, gearing up for the big fifties and Player of the Match awards. 
Coming with already the series won with a 2-0 lead at Cuttack, Gill seemed filled with confidence on a track of the Narendra Modi Stadium to which he is well adapted. Shubman scored a stellar hundred after almost 14 innings or, more notably, 500+ days without scoring a ton in the 50-over format internationally. 
<h2 dir="ltr">5 records broken or made by Shubman Gill in ODIs at Ahmedabad:</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Fastest to 2500 runs in One-Day International cricket </h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67ac89a95f712.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="493">

The Indian opener surpassed the previous record of legendary Protea batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashim_Amla">Hashim Amla</a> in scoring the fastest 2500 runs in international ODI cricket. Amla, who achieved it in 51 innings, was surpassed by Gill, who completed his 2500 runs in just his 50th ODI match. 
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Fastest Indian to complete 7 ODI hundreds</h3>
Shubman Gill is now the fastest among Indian batters to have reached the milestone of 7 ODI hundreds in international cricket. He has played the last innings to reach this great feat, as he is also the second world batter currently to have scored the most hundreds with all formats combined ever since 2023, leveled with Joe Root with 13 hundreds overall.

<h3 dir="ltr">3. Shubman Gill is among the elite list of batters with a hat trick of 50+ scores in a series.</h3>
Shubman Gill, who already backed himself with a player of the match winning an 87-run inning in the first ODI and a quick 60 in the second, became the seventh Indian batter to have scored three consecutive half-centuries in continuous matches played in a 3-match bilateral ODI series. 
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Fourth to score a hundred across three formats in a single venue</h3>

Shubman Gill enrolls himself among elites of World Cricket with this unique record (Image Credit: X)
Shubman Gill also became the fifth batter in the world to have acquired this unique record of having scored centuries across all formats at a specific venue. Gill joined the elite list of batters, David Warner [Adelaide Oval], Quinton de Kock [Centurion], Faf du Plessis [Wanderers], and Babar Azam [Karachi], to have scored 100 at the same venue at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. 
<h3 dir="ltr">5. Only Indian batter to score a hundred in his 50th ODI</h3>
Shubman Gill is now the only Indian batter to have scored a hundred in his 50th One-Day International match, which seems a compelling achievement in the longer white-ball format of the game.
