The Pakistan T20 team has officially begun its tour of Bangladesh as the first batch of players, led by captain Salman Ali Agha, departed Karachi for Dhaka via Dubai on Tuesday.
The team is scheduled to play a three-match T20I series at Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium from July 20 to 24.
The initial traveling party includes seven key players: Salman Ali Agha, Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Nawaz, Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, and Khushdil Shah.
They were accompanied by members of the coaching and support staff.
The second group of players is set to leave on Wednesday morning, ensuring the full squad is assembled ahead of the series opener.
The series marks a rematch between the two sides after their last encounter in May, where Pakistan sealed a 3-0 clean sweep at home.
Earlier this week, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officially announced ticket prices for the upcoming series, with prices ranging from Tk 300 to Tk 3,500, catering to a wide range of fans.
The BCB has prioritised a digital-first approach for ticket distribution. Starting July 15, tickets will be available exclusively online through the official eTicket platform.
