Bangladesh has arrived in Pakistan to play a two-match Test series, with the first game set to start in Rawalpindi on August 21. In light of hosting the Champions Trophy in 2025, they will host England and the West Indies next. These matches will serve as a litmus test for Pakistan’s security concerns over the years.
Bangladesh’s spin bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed congratulated the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the team’s seamless arrival as the Bangla Tigers arrived in Pakistan despite political unrest at home. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had to postpone their arrival because they were unable to prepare for the important Pakistan assignment due to the unrest at home. Not only does their early arrival address that issue, but it also allows the guests to become even more acclimated to the surroundings.
“Practice there (in Bangladesh) was not possible due to the political situation.” First to phone and say, “Thank you very much, bring your team here earlier, we can manage them,” was PCB. You are aware that there were problems with the pitches and security, but PCB deserves this credit, stated Mushtaq, who was cited by.

Bangladesh arrived in Lahore, where it first took shape before relocating to Islamabad. Although there was much question over Shakib Al Hasan‘s selection, the veteran was added at the last minute. Mushtaq noted that the PCB had worked to anticipate better cricket relations between the two nations and stated that the players from Bangladesh are concentrating on their game while putting domestic issues on the back burner.
“And I believe that Bangladesh and PCB have a wonderful connection. If they can continue to support one another in this way, I believe cricket will continue to thrive. I believe that every boy is content and eager to participate in the first Test at Rawalpindi. The situation’s impact has been significantly mitigated. I give the management credit; they’ve treated the players really well,” he said.

“Athletes like Shakib are contributing positively by offering guidance. Prominent athletes like Taskin Ahmed and Mushy (Mushfiqur Rahim) are making valuable contributions. Mushtaq continued, “When you come to play a series, the focus is on cricket, and I think they are focussing on cricket now.
