PAK vs BAN 1st T20I: Pakistan’s Probable Playing XI

The much-anticipated Bangladesh tour of Pakistan 2025 begins with the 1st T20I on May 28 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, with the match scheduled to start at 8:30 PM IST (3:00 PM GMT). Both teams are preparing for this series as part of their build-up to the T20 World Cup later this year, making it a key opportunity for players to cement their spots and gain form.

Pakistan has revealed a balanced squad with elite explosive batters, strong all-rounders, and an exciting bowling attack under the captaincy of Salman Agha. With experienced players like Shadab Khan, Haris Rauf, and Fakhar Zaman and emerging players like Saim Ayub and Abrar Ahmed, Pakistan has a real chance to claim victory in the home series. The unpredictability of the Men in Green and their style of play is exciting in T20 cricket, so the hope would be that they come out firing and put together their combinations well ahead of global competition.

Probable Pakistan Playing XI:

• Saim Ayub
• Fakhar Zaman
• Mohammad Haris (WK)
• Salman Agha (Captain)
• Hussain Talat
• Shadab Khan
• Faheem Ashraf
• Mohammad Wasim Jr
• Haris Rauf
• Naseem Shah
• Abrar Ahmed
