The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has released the revised schedule for the three-match T20 International series between Pakistan and Bangladesh. All matches are slated to be played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore from May 28 to June 1.
The first T20I will commence on Wednesday, May 28, followed by the second match on Friday, May 30. The series will culminate with the third and final T20I on Sunday, June 1. Each match is scheduled to begin at 8 PM local time.

The Bangladesh squad is set to arrive in Lahore on May 25. Training sessions have been meticulously planned for May 26 and 27 to facilitate the visiting team’s preparation for the upcoming series.
Yesterday, reports emerged indicating that the PCB and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had reached an agreement on a bilateral T20I series.
The accord was finalized after a detailed meeting in Dubai involving PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, BCB Chairman Nazmul Abedin, and BCB President Faruque Ahmed. However, the series was scaled down from the initially proposed five matches to three.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi extended his gratitude to his Bangladeshi counterparts for finalizing the tour schedule and reaffirming their commitment to Pakistan’s international cricket calendar.
Bangladesh will be led by the seasoned wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das, who was officially appointed as the T20I captain earlier this year following Najmul Hossain Shanto’s resignation.
Off-spinner Mahedi Hasan has been named vice-captain for both the UAE and Pakistan tour.
It is noteworthy that the series had previously faced uncertainty due to escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, as well as the mid-season postponement of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Originally, Bangladesh was scheduled to arrive in Pakistan on May 21 in two groups, with a five-match T20I series initially set to begin on May 25 in Faisalabad. However, logistical adjustments and security considerations have since led to the revised three-match series.
Pakistan-Bangladesh T20I Series Schedule:
- May 28 – 1st T20I, Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
- May 30 – 2nd T20I, Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
- June 1 – 3rd T20I, Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
