PAK vs BAN Test Series: After completing the 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL), Pakistan’s men national cricket team will visit Bangladesh for a 2-match Test series from May 8th to 20th, 2023, which will be conducted as part of ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-2027 in Dhaka and Sylhet.
Pakistan will be skippered by their vice-captain, Shan Masood. Among the new, upcoming talents in this touring party include Abdullah Fazal, Azan Awais and Ghaza Ghori whom have all been in excellent productive form recently, and combined with the experience of established players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Saud Shakeel should provide a great mix to the squad as they embark to play this series against Bangladesh.
In opposition, Najmul Hossain Shanto will lead the Bangladesh team with a top-performing bowling line-up of spinners complemented by a number of very good basic bowlers, therefore this should be a great Test series as the match dates draw ever closer.
