Pakistan reinforces border amid rising India tensions, defence minister warns of crucial days aheadLAHORE The Pakistan Cricket Board has officially confirmed that Bangladesh will tour Pakistan in May for a five-match T20 International series as part of the ICC Future Tours Programme .
Originally scheduled to include three ODIs and three T20Is, the tour has been revised, with both boards agreeing to replace the ODIs with two additional T20 matches to better prepare for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup next year. The series will see international cricket return to Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium for the first time in 17 years. The venue, which last hosted an international match in 2008, will stage the first two T20Is on May 25 and 27. The remaining matches will take place at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium on May 30 and June 1 and 3. The Bangladesh squad is set to arrive in Pakistan on May 21, with training scheduled at Iqbal Stadium from May 22 to 24. All five matches will begin at 8:00 PM local time. This series follows Bangladesh’s successful Test tour of Pakistan last year, where they completed a 2-0 series whitewash, their first in the format against Pakistan.
