(Web Desk) – Pakistan’s international cricket schedule is set to intensify as the national team prepares for two separate tours of Bangladesh in the coming months, featuring both limited-overs and red-ball cricket.
According to sources, Pakistan will travel to Dhaka immediately after the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup for a three-match One-Day International (ODI) series. All three matches are scheduled to be played in Dhaka on March 12, 14, and 16. The ODI fixtures are expected to provide valuable preparation and competitive exposure for both teams as they continue to build depth in the 50-over format ahead of future international tournaments.
The series reflects strengthening cricketing ties between Pakistan and Bangladesh, with fans anticipating closely contested matches between two competitive Asian sides. Officials believe the back-to-back engagements will also enhance bilateral sporting relations while maintaining a packed international calendar for both teams.
Following the ODI series, Pakistan will return home to participate in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), one of the country’s premier T20 competitions. After the conclusion of the PSL, the national side is scheduled to tour Bangladesh again in May for a two-match Test series.
The first Test will take place in Dhaka from May 8 to 12, while the second match is set to be played in Chittagong from May 16 to 20. The Test series will mark a shift from white-ball cricket to the traditional red-ball format, posing a challenge for team management in terms of squad rotation, player workload, and strategic preparation.
Cricket analysts expect selectors to carefully manage player fitness and form, given the tight scheduling and transition between formats. The upcoming tours are seen as an important opportunity for Pakistan to test squad depth and refine strategies across both limited-overs and Test cricket.
