Pakistan squad begins departure for Bangladesh ahead of T20I series 2025

The Pakistan men’s cricket team has officially started its tour of Bangladesh for the upcoming three-match T20I series, with the first batch of players and support staff departing from Karachi on Monday night.

The traveling party includes captain Salman Ali Agha, along with Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Nawaz, Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, and Khushdil Shah, accompanied by head coach Mike Hesson and support staff. The contingent is flying to Dhaka via Dubai.

The second group of players is scheduled to depart on Wednesday morning, completing the full squad's arrival in Bangladesh ahead of the opening T20I on July 20.

All three matches of the Pakistan Bangladesh T20I series 2025 will be played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka, with fixtures lined up for July 20, 22, and 24 at 6:00 PM local time.

This series serves as a rematch between the two sides following Pakistan’s 3-0 clean sweep at home in May 2025, and presents another opportunity for Pakistan’s young squad to shine under new leadership.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has already announced ticket prices, ranging from Tk 300 to Tk 3,500, with all tickets made available exclusively online via their official eTicket platform starting July 15 as part of a digital-first strategy.
