Bangladesh will play two Tests, one ODI, and three T20Is in Pakistan –– though the matches are going to be split across three legs. there'll be three T20Is played from January 24 to 27, beat Lahore. the primary Test will happen in Rawalpindi from February 7 to 11 within the second leg, and Bangladesh will return in April to play a solitary ODI and therefore the second Test, both in Karachi. The Pakistan Super League, also to be played in Pakistan in its entirety, is going to be played between the second and third legs of Bangladesh’s tour. After the PSL concludes on March 22, Bangladesh will return to Pakistan to play a solitary ODI, in Karachi on April 3, followed by the second Test of the series, from April 5 to 9.CB Chairman Ehsan Mani said: “I am pleased that we've amicably achieved a resolution that's within the best interest of this great sport also as both the proud cricket playing countries. I also want to thank ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar for the leadership he provided and ensured the game continues to grow and thrive within the two countries.” PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan, who also attended Tuesday’s meeting at the ICC headquarters, said: “It may be a win-win outcome for both the boards. I'm glad that the uncertainty around the series is now over and that we can start planning for the graceful delivery of the matches. Bangladesh will visit Pakistan thrice, which should give them the comfort that Pakistan is as safe and secure as the other cricket playing country.”
This latest update to the status of the series is, the PCB will hope, the ultimate chapter of a saga that has dragged on for weeks now, with the prospect of the tour believed to be about killed off after the BCB announced on Sunday it had been against government advice to remain on for any longer than 6-7 days in Pakistan, which might only be conducive to a T20I series. But the PCB’s announcement the subsequent day that they might still have discussions with the BCB on the sidelines of the ICC’s Governance Review board meeting implied that they had not yet given abreast of a positive outcome. Manohar having facilitated these talks led to the surprise outcome announced on Tuesday.
BCB President Nazmul Hassan said: “I must thank the PCB for understanding our position. We are pleased that a mutually acceptable resolution has been reached and this is often a major example our sincere efforts at respecting the ICC FTP commitments.” Bangladesh had maintained from the beginning that they were able to play a limited-overs series in Pakistan, but the PCB was adamant any visit would need to include the two-Test series set within the ICC Test Championship calendar and therefore the Future Tours Programme. The Bangladesh women’s team toured Pakistan for 3 T20Is and two ODIs in October-November 2019, with the series going off without incident. That came on the rear of the Sri Lankan cricket team touring Karachi for 3 ODIs and Lahore for 3 T20Is, before they might return for 2 Test matches in December 2019, the primary Test held in Pakistan since 2009.
