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."

Can't wait for this series, already knew this was happening.

Any rumour on venues within Bangladesh?
 
Test series is going to be epic

One thing i'm scared of is the slow and low pitches. The ball keeping real low was horrid to see in the NZ series no bounce whatsoever.

In either case our bowling attack should out match

We have built a decent bowling attack of late. Shaheen, Hassan, Nauman, Yasir, Abbas, Sajid are all very decent options. Plus Faheem the utility bowler
 
I guess India is too far ahead now so Pakistan-Bangladesh might be the new Pakistan-India.

Still remember someone’s hope cum prediction of Pak being at the level of Bermuda and papua new guinea.
 
Pak’s ability to play spin will be the key on the tour. BD is pretty good at home so Pak will naturally have to play good cricket to win over there.

Funny how he isn’t here anymore to see if his prediction comes true or not
 
Should be a good and hard-fought series for Pakistan.

Won't be easy in their conditions as they have shown against Australia and New Zealand.
 
Another series squeezed into an unforgiving schedule?

How much does the PCB make out of a tour like this anyway?
 
We need left handers for the test series. Fawad and his ability to play spinners will be more than handy in these conditions.

Very true. Guys like Nasum Ahmed, Mehdi Hassan, Shakib Ul Hassan will all be players to watch.

I reckon the domestic tournament and getting used to playing the kookaburra ball will all play in favour of Pak.
 
I expect Pakistan to win the Test series 2-0.

T20 series can go either way if pitches are dustbowl pitches. If flat, Pakistan should win.
 
Will be interesting to see Test matches in Bangladesh. Long time since Pakistan have played there and I don't think most of the guys have ever played there. Might be a very tough series to be honest vs Bangladesh spin bowling.

It's usually good for batting. I think we can't really look too much at the NZ and Aus series played in Bangladesh as some SENA teams are notoriously bad at playing spin in sub-continent conditions especially when the team consists of B level players.
 
What's the point of playing T20Is right after the T20 WC? May as well play ODI Super League games instead.
 
Again we are always involved with Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Shoot!
 
Unfortunately our current players are not any better than SENA countries in terms of playing spin. Might include Fahad, Yasir, Nauman and Shafiq (although none of them has any future in T20) in T20 as well. Anything over 130 will be winning score.
 
Anything less than whitewashes in both series will be an embarrassment for Pakistan.

Could be other way around. Babar is similar to Azhar Ali in terms of captaincy. We lack of proper spinners and quality batsmen to stay in wickets.

Yeah nah that ain't happening in Tests.

We do have quality batsmen. Babar Azam, Fawad Alam, Mohammad Rizwan and Azhar Ali are all quality batsmen.

And I don't see how you would quantify Nauman Ali and Yasir Shah as fast-bowlers.

Pakistan men to travel to Bangladesh after five years

Lahore, 14 September 2021:

The Pakistan men’s national cricket team will travel to Bangladesh after five years to play the hosts in three T20 Internationals and two ICC World Test Championship matches after the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

The national side’s tour is part of the Future Tours Programme and will commence with the T20I series, which will be staged at Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, on 19 November. The second and third T20Is will be played on 20 and 22 November.

The two teams will then travel to Chattogram for the first of the two Tests at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium from 26-30 November. This match will see the two sides face-off in the apex form of the game on Bangladeshi soil for the first time since May 2015, when Pakistan won the two-match series by completing a win in the final Test by a mammoth 328 runs.

The two teams will return to Dhaka to play the final Test, which will start from 4 December.

Pakistan are ranked second on the ICC World Test Championship points table with one win in two matches, while Bangladesh are yet to kick of their campaign.

Pakistan have immaculate record in Tests against Bangladesh with 10 wins from 11 matches. They also enjoy an impressive record in the T20Is against Bangladesh with 10 wins from 12 matches.

The date of the national team’s departure will be announced in due course.

Fixtures:

19 Nov – First T20I, Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka
20 Nov – Second T20I, Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka
22 Nov – Third T20I, Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka

26-30 Nov – First Test, Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram
4-8 Dec – Second Test, Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka
 
I think these results may happen:

Pakistan take the Test series 2-0.
Pakistan take the T20 series 2-1.
 
I think these results may happen:

I think Pakistan may win the Test series, but Bangladesh may win the T20Is 2-1
 
Have Bangladesh ever won a Test match against Pakistan?

They can't get a better opportunity than this if they haven't. Yasir Shah is way past it and that left arm spinner uncle whose name I can't remember will be cannon fodder for Mushi, Shakib, Liton, Tamim etc who literally grew up playing plethora of such SLAO bowlers on dry turners.

But I think pak will somehow win one. Going with 1-1 in Tests and 2-1 either way in T20s..

Hm, I feel like you are overestimating Bangladesh in tests here. The likes of Brathwaite and Warrican took wickets against them.

Bangladesh lost that series due to their bowling. Batting was okay. Besides, I don't think a spin bowling attack of Rahkeem Cornwall and Jomel Warrican is as bad as one might think..
 
This can be a very exciting series.
Bangladesh need to back their method and produce raging turners. They are used to playing Slow Left Armers.. they have an army of them. Yasir Shah they have to find a way to counter and produce pitches to neutralize the talented Pakistan pace attack somehow.
Shakib/Mushfiqur/Liton/Tamim are still very good in their home conditions and good spinners.
Hoping for a BD Series win.. If that happens what a day It would be. It will be celebrated wildly from Dhaka to Gujrat, and from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.

But still, Pakistan Test team is good enough to rise to this challenge.

PCB expressing their gratitude towards Bangladesh for touring Pakistan in 2019 & 2020
 
Bangladesh have more talent than Pakistan. They are also confident and skilled at home.

Won’t be surprised to see them both series.

You can’t make such predictions, they were struggling against Rakheem and Warrican, Numan Ali although he looks innocuous is a handy spinner. Yasir Shah most likely won’t make the final XI given his form and hey let’s see if he even gets selected, I’d think they’ll go with Zahid. Our test players mind you are not going into this series underprepared they will be playing QeA and then the obvious prep prior to the beginning of the test series. 2-0 easy in my eyes.

In regards to the t20s it will depend on what pitches are prepared.

So Bangladesh should be 3rd (Pakistan) in T20 ranking and serious contender for this World Cup?

Our test team is better than last time with the introduce of Fawad instead of Shafiq and we have better bowlers this time as well. Both openers are the weak point. Hopefully we can get rid at least 1 of them before the series.
 
Wow, first tour since 2015 - 6 odd years.
And the narrative and slant on this site is about the one board being responsible for all thats evil in the game we cherish. If you guys or the 'other than the so called big 3' gang cared so much for the better ment of the game, what stopped u from having more frequent tour to the shores of your BD bros?
That apart, I'd question why TWO tests, 3 T20's and NO Odi's? two tests sounds a bit sparse.
I think BD will go in with turning wickets in anticipation of Mehidy, shakib and co to strike. I'd think its a great chance for Yassir Shah as well as the reverse swing of hasan ali and shaheen afrid to perform well.
will be a good series, i'd back pak to put it over BD in tests.
T20's a bit of a lottery and i'd marginally back BD to win series.
 
I think its going to be dead flat wickets for the Tests. Possibly 0-0 draw or 1-0 to Pakistan if that is the case. Bangladesh won't want to give Shaheen any sort of advantage. Raging turners have backfired on Bangladesh before, so that leaves only 1 possibility: flat wickets.

I don't know if you suffer from short term memory loss but just in case, I'll remind you that Pakistan & Bangladesh did not have the best of relations of in the 2010s. Bangladesh refused to tour Pakistan some time in the early 2010s even thought Pakistan did send its players in the inaugural BPL and that rubbed Pakistan the wrong way and from then onwards the PCB opted for a more cold approach towards the BCB. Also geopolitical tensions between Pakistan and Bangladesh were high in the mid to late 2010s and Islamabad viewed the Sheikh government in Bangladesh as either an Indian asset or proxy or at least that they were more favorable towards India than to Pakistan which was what the PCB believed played a role in Bangladesh choosing not to tour Pakistan. Now ties being Pakistan and Bangladesh are better than before under Khan's government and Bangladesh has issues with the Indian government and have grown closer to PRC. So these are the factors behind recent warming in ties between the two countries, if Indians tried to learn more about the world outside their country then they wouldn't be posting such ignorant comments.
 
Good tour.

In their conditions, it will show us who has a good technique against spin.

The only way to survive in those conditions is to be able to play a versatile array of strokes.

Backing Rizwan to be the leading run-scorer of the tour.

This tour will hopefully answer questions on Babar's ability to play left-arm spin.

One complaint is why T20s first, tests are more important.

Just like 2015
 
Just like 2015

Thats what I am expecting. Makes no sense to make a seam friendly surface - to the extent thats even possible in Bangladesh. A turning pitch would aid Yasir, Nouman, whoever else. Only thing that makes sense is a dead pitch where both sides will score 500+.

Prepare for a snoozefest if wickets and results are your thing.

True. But even this strategy could backfire on Bangladesh if they lose the toss. We saw in the series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan (last time they toured) that if the other team wins the toss and puts up 500+ than Bangladesh can easily wilt under the scoreboard pressure and lose comprehensively.

However from a BD point-of-view, this strategy is still more sensible than dishing out a turner.

Not a bad explanation. But the default narrative of every one's fault but us still is in place. the same 'world outside their country ' has spoken on a lot of fronts with their decisions.
Any ways, on a purely cricketing view point, series will be good. I'd follow test cricket or any one playing tests as opposed to the IPL or any t20 leagues. Bring it on.
 
Time for reality check for B'desh. After winning against Aus, NZ B teams, they will swept aside against their nemesis.

Babar and Shaheen will wreak havoc.
 
Bangladesh national team selector Habibul Bashar said that the upcoming National Cricket League (NCL) will be adequate preparation for the two Tests against Pakistan -- part of the ICC World Test Championship -- in November-December.

This home series against Pakistan is set to be the Tigers' first assignment after the upcoming T20 World Cup, which will be held in the UAE and Oman from October 17 to November 14.

The NCL had to be initially postponed and later cancelled last year due to complications arising from the coronavirus pandemic. Although other domestic international and local cricket fixtures took place in bio-bubbles, the travelling during NCL matches led to problems. Bashar said that the upcoming NCL in October is likely to be played in two venues.

"One of the main reasons that the NCL stopped after commencing was the issue of travelling. We wanted team to play both home and away. But we're still battling with Covid-19 and travelling is risky. As far as I know, the games will take place at two venues at Cox's Bazar and Sylhet," Bashar informed the media today.

Squads of 20-22 members have been formed for the upcoming NCL and the players will also get a months' time to prepare themselves. "The wickets got a bit of rest so we're hoping for a competitive tournament," Bashar said.

"We have a few Test matches right after the World Cup. It's a good opportunity to prepare players. We didn't get much a chance to play Tests. Obviously, there is a difference between a practice match and a competitive match. I think NCL will be adequate preparation before the Pakistan series," he added.

Bangladesh lost the one-off Test against Pakistan in February last year before the pandemic curtailed opportunities for international tours. Pakistan won the Test by an innings and 44 runs. Bashar said: "We have to struggle if we want to compete. We don't want to repeat what happened last time."

The Test series will mark the beginning of Bangladesh's campaign in the ICC WTC cycle 2.

Pakistan must win the test series. Their away record since the tour of SA in 2018/19 has been absolutely dreadful apart from a ZIM whitewash
 
We really should be playing more ODI's. I really have enough of these T20I's.
 
Shouldn't the PCB have made plans for Bang to tour them instead? Yet again being spineless and unprofessional.
 
Bangladesh Cricket Board is likely to allow fans for the forthcoming series against Pakistan scheduled to be held in November-December at home if the Covid-19 situation of the country improves, said the board’s cricket operations chairman Akram Khan.

‘We are thinking of allowing fans in the upcoming Pakistan series but there needs to be improvement of the Covid situation. Once it is better, I think we won’t face any sort of embargo,’ said Akram to New Age on Wednesday.

If it happens, the fans of the cricket crazy nation will be able to enjoy the vibes of the matches of their favourite stars from the gallery for the first time since the BCB stopped entering fans due to the outbreak of pandemic in March 2020.

The last time that the BCB had allowed fans was during the Zimbabwe series held in Dhaka and Sylhet respectively in February-March 2020.

After that series, the Tigers have played four consecutive home series against West Indies, Sri Lanka, Australia and New Zealand respectively but all were held in closed door due to the worsening situation of the pandemic.

But the recent improvement of the death toll along with the infection rate from Covid made the cricket board optimistic to entertain fans in the upcoming heavyweight series at home.

Pakistan, who are expected to arrive in Dhaka just after the conclusion of the ICC Twenty20 World Cup, will have to stay in quarantine for three days, confirmed the former national cricket team captain.

‘Like other teams who have visited here [Bangladesh] recently, Pakistan also will have to go through a three-day quarantine at the team hotel,’ he said.

Pakistan, who have played in Bangladesh last time in the 2016 T20 Asia Cup, will start the tour with the T20 series. The matches are scheduled to take place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on November 19, 20, 22.

The first of the two-match Test series will be held at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram from November 26-30 followed by the second Test at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium from December 4-8.

The Test series will mark the beginning of Bangladesh’s campaign in the ICC World Test Championship cycle 2.

Bangladesh have sweet memories of the last time they hosted the Pakistan team which was back in April-May 2015, as they clean swept them in the three-ODI series, defeated them in the lone T20 and also drew a Test against them for the first time.

I think some of the world cup players should be rested for example Shaheen,Hassan Ali,Rauf,Shadab
 
Well no Shakib now. Should be an easy series for Pakistan.

Ace all-rounder Shakib al Hasan’s availability for the T20I home series against Pakistan later this month is uncertain. While pace bowling all-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin is near confirm of missing the three-match series, wicket-keeper batsman Nurul Hasan is expected to recover fully and available for the series scheduled to start on November 19.

Shakib is carrying a Grade 1 hamstring tear and Saifuddin is recovering from a back injury.

The Bangladesh national cricket team took flight to Dhaka from Dubai on Friday following a dreadful campaign in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. Bangladesh Cricket Board chief physician Dr Debashish Chowdhury informed the media of the injury status of the players before boarding the flight at the Dubai International Airport.

“Shakib will take at least three weeks to recover and get back to the field. He will be able to play the Test series. Saifuddin will have to stay away from the field for six weeks. There is no doubt with availability of Nurul Hasan,” said Debashish to the media in Dubai on Friday.

Saifuddin was ruled from the T20 World Cup following Bangladesh’s first Super 12 game, against Sri Lanka. Shakib picked his injury during the third game in the phase, against West Indies and missed out from the last two matches – against South Africa and Australia.

Nurul picked the injury while in nets ahead of the second game – against England. The right-handed batsman despite the pain took to the field against the English side but missed the remainder of the tournament for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh are scheduled to play the three T20Is against Pakistan at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on November 19, 20 and 22 respectively. The first of the two-match Test series will begin at Chattogram’s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on November 26. The second Test will be played at Mirpur from December 4.

Too many T20's

If we to be taken seriously as a team we need to start playing more test matches snd odi's and get better in the longer format.
 
After the disappointment of the T20 word cup, I couldn’t care less about this series, especially against a team that will produce the type of wickets we know they will produce.
 
Too many T20's

If we to be taken seriously as a team we need to start playing more test matches snd odi's and get better in the longer format.

The problem is not too many T20s.

The problem is picking your first choice players in T20s, that too against a minnow.
