There was also a lot of confusion last week about Bangladesh’s series against Pakistan. However, the T20 series is finally underway. However, due to the military tension between India and Pakistan, two matches have been reduced. The five-match series has been reduced to three.
There is still some doubt about the final schedule of the series. Although the information on the official website of the PCB so far says that the field battle between the two teams will start from May 27. Although the schedule has not been officially announced, Pakistan has announced its squad for the series.
There are some surprises in the announced squad. The team’s big three stars Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi are not in the series against Bangladesh. In the absence of Rizwan, the captaincy has gone to Salman Ali Agha. Experienced leg-spinner Shadab Khan has returned to the team as vice-captain.
