 "Pakistan vs Bangladesh 1st Test Playing 11, live timings, streaming")
Pakistan are set to host the Bangladesh cricket team for a 2-match Test series in Rawalpindi, starting on August 21. The hosts will be playing their first Test series since the disappointing loss against Australia back in 2023. The Bangla Tigers, on the other hand, will also be coming off a 0-2 Test series defeat against Sri Lanka.
Pakistan's record on home soil in Test series hasn't been one to admire, as they are without a win since 2021 in their own backyard. With crucial World Test Championship (WTC) points at stake, both sides will be looking to shrug off their poor form to get closer to the upper half of the WTC points table.
While Bangladesh are placed eigth in the standings, Pakistan find themselves in sixth place with 2 wins in their 5 games so far. The two matches are scheduled to start on Aug 21 and Aug 30, respectively.
Here are the squads for both sides ahead of the 2-match series -
Pakistan squad: Abdullah Shafique, Saim Ayub, Shan Masood(c), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(w), Agha Salman, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Ali, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Mir Hamza, Kamran Ghulam, Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Huraira
Bangladesh squad: Zakir Hasan, Shadman Islam, Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Mominul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shoriful Islam, Nahid Rana, Hasan Mahmud, Khaled Ahmed, Nayeem Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Taijul Islam
