The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that Bangladesh will tour Pakistan in May for a five-match T20I series.
Originally planned as a mix of three ODIs and three T20Is under the Future Tour Programme (FTP), the series was revised due to the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup next year. Both boards agreed to replace the ODIs with two additional T20Is.

The five-match series will take place in Faisalabad and Lahore from May 25 to June 3. Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium, which recently hosted the inaugural Champions One-Day Cup and the National T20 Cup, will hold the first two T20Is on May 25 and 27.
This marks the return of international cricket to Iqbal Stadium after a 17-year gap since its last ODI in April 2008 between Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The final three T20Is will be held at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium on May 30, June 1, and June 3, all scheduled for 8 pm. Bangladesh’s team will arrive on May 21 and will train at Iqbal Stadium from May 22 to 24.
