Bangladesh
tour of Pakistan includes three T20Is, two Tests and only ODI matches to be
hosted in three different venues- Lahore, Rawalpindi and Karachi. The schedule
of this series has been divided into three legs, meaning Bangladesh will travel
to Pakistan thrice from January to April. The duration of each leg is not be
more than 7 days.
The
first leg consisting of three T20Is will kick off on January 24 and will end on
January 27. All matches will be played in Lahore. After that, Bangladesh will
go back home. They will come to Pakistan again to play the first Test match scheduled
to be played from February 7 to 11 in the second leg in Rawalpindi. In the
third leg, two teams will play a one-off ODI and second Test match in Karachi in
April after the end of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which will be played
between February 20 and March 22.
Keeping
in mind the security of the visiting players, the decision of splitting the
tour itinerary might have been taken. Staying in Pakistan for more than 6-7
days might not be safe for the touring team. This bilateral series will help the
host nation to prove that they are safe and secure like any other cricket
playing country and they can arrange a full-fledged series on their home soil.
