LAHORE
\nThe Bangladesh men\u2019s cricket team is arriving here on August 13, to have training at the Gaddafi Stadium from August 14-16 before traveling to Islamabad on 17th August to hold practice sessions at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from August 18-20.
\nThe Bangladesh team is arriving here for the two ICC World Test Championship fixtures in Rawalpindi and Karachi from August 21-25 and August 30 to September 3, respectively.
\nOriginally, the Bangladesh cricket team was scheduled to arrive on 17th August in Islamabad. The Bangladesh team will now land in Lahore on the morning of 13th August.
\nThis will be Bangladesh\u2019s first tour of Pakistan since 2020 when they played three T20Is in Lahore and one-off Test in Rawalpindi. Bangladesh also played two ACC Asia Cup 2023 matches in Lahore against Afghanistan and Pakistan.
\nBangladesh is one of the seven sides that will feature in next year\u2019s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan.
\nOther six sides are: Afghanistan, Australia, England, India, New Zealand and South Africa.
\nThe PCB had extended an invitation to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to send their team earlier, ensuring they have adequate and fair training opportunities ahead of the ICC World Test Championship matches.
\nPCB Chief Operating Officer Salman Naseer said, \u201cSports is not only about winning and losing, it\u2019s also about comradely. I remain confident that the extra training sessions in Lahore will allow the players to showcase their best skills and talent on the global stage.
\n\u201cWe are delighted that the BCB have accepted our offer and we look forward to welcoming the Bangladesh men\u2019s cricket team in Lahore on 13 August with our traditional hospitality. This will allow them to have three additional days of training and practice at one of our iconic venues before proceeding to Islamabad as originally planned.\u201d
\nBCB Chief Executive Nizam Uddin Chowdhury said, \u201cWe thank the PCB for giving the Bangladesh cricket team the opportunity to have additional training in Pakistan. This will certainly help the players to acclimate to the conditions and prepare better for the ICC World Test Championship series.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
