This is the third time Bangladesh cricket team is touring Pakistan. Their last two tours to Pakistan were not successful because they didn’t even manage to win a single game although their performance in Multan test was brilliant. In this series Bangladesh will play five ODI’s & one twenty20 match. All the matches are going to be day-nighters.

Pakistan arranged this five match series within very short time after Australia postponed their tour to the country over security fears. Both teams already declared their squad. Pakistan cricket team will be without their two frontline fast bowlers, Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif and will rely on a new-look bowling attack.
