Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has formally issued a changed schedule for the forthcoming three-match T20I series between Pakistan and Bangladesh. The whole series will be staged at Lahore's legendary Gaddafi Stadium between 28 May and 1 June 2025, with every match set to start at 8:00 PM local time, providing fans with prime-time cricket action under the lights.
The Bangladesh side will reach Lahore on 25 May and will have training sessions on 26 and 27 May as a part of their pre-series preparations. This series is especially important for Pakistan since it will be the first international assignment for newly appointed head coach Mike Hesson. The New Zealander will assume responsibility after the conclusion of the HBL PSL X, which concludes on 25 May. The Pakistan team selection is a testament to a keen emphasis on home performers since several players have been given call-ups as a result of their performances in the just-concluded PSL.
Revised Match Schedule:
- 1st T20I – Wednesday, 28 May – Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
- 2nd T20I – Friday, 30 May – Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
- 3rd T20I – Sunday, 1 June – Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
