Pakistan will make their first bilateral tour to Bangladesh since 2015 to play two Tests and three T20Is.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury confirmed the matter to the media on Monday. Although he did not specify about the matches, the ICC's Future Tour Programme (FTP) shows the two nations will play two Tests and three T20Is.
The Test matches will form part of the World Test Championship 2021-23 cycle. Bangladesh will then go off to New Zealand for two Tests and three T20Is in December-January. South Africa will host Bangladesh for three ODIs and two Tests in March-April 2022.
"Pakistan series is right after the World Cup," Nizamuddin said. "Our cricket operations committee is in talks with the Pakistan Cricket Board as well as the Cricket South Africa. After Pakistan series, we have a New Zealand tour. It’s a very congested schedule.
"The Covid-19 protocols will be the same [in Pakistan series] as we have had so far. We will inform the visiting side about the guidelines."
The last time Bangladesh hosted Pakistan, the Tigers claimed historic ODI series whitewash (3-0) and the one-off T20I. The two-match Test series went to Pakistan 1-0. In 2020, Bangladesh toured Pakistan for three T20Is and a one-off Test losing all except one abandoned T20I.
Bangladesh's busy schedule will resume in October, when they go off to Oman and the UAE to play the T20 World Cup. Most of the players are having a break following the home series T20I against New Zealand which Bangladesh won 3-2.
Nizamuddin said that the players have been told to maintain health rules before departure. Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman will be in the UAE to play the IPL.
"The players are currently on a break," Nizamuddin said. "They have been given instructions on avoiding public gathering and maintaining Covid-19 rules. Everyone will be tested before leaving."
