Pakistan vs Bangladesh T20I Series 2025 – Full Schedule Dates & Venues Revealed

Pakistan’s men’s cricket team is getting ready for an exciting tour of Bangladesh, as plans for a three-match T20 series begin to take final shape. According to well-known sports journalist Abdul Ghaffar from Dawn Sports, the T20 matches are scheduled to be played on July 20, 22, and 24, 2025. While the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not yet made an official announcement, the dates have reportedly been confirmed. Details about the venues and match timings are expected to be shared with fans very soon.

This tour marks Pakistan’s return to Bangladesh just two months after the Bangladeshi team visited Pakistan. The series will serve as an important step forward for both teams, especially as they start building strong squads ahead of the T20 World Cup in 2026.

A New Chapter Under Mike Hesson’s Leadership

For Pakistan, this tour will also be the first overseas challenge for their newly appointed head coach Mike Hesson. The former New Zealand coach had a successful start earlier this month when Pakistan defeated Bangladesh 3-0 at home in a T20 series. Now, Hesson will be keen to test his young squad in away conditions and see how they perform under pressure.

Squad Selection from Lahore Camp Underway

At the moment, Pakistan’s cricketers are attending a skills development camp in Lahore, where coaches are working on improving players’ fitness, technique, and match awareness. The final squad for the Bangladesh tour is expected to be selected from this training group within the next few weeks.

Fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi is likely to make a return to the team, which will boost Pakistan’s bowling attack. However, star players Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan may not be included in the squad for this series. Coach Hesson seems to be focusing on giving more chances to young and emerging players who are eager to prove themselves on the international stage.

What to Expect: Strategy or Stability?

As the T20 series draws closer, cricket fans in both countries are eagerly waiting to see which direction their teams will take. Will the selectors pick experienced players to ensure stability? Or will they take a bold step by testing new talent ahead of the World Cup? These decisions could shape each team’s future in T20 cricket.

Regardless of the final squads, the Pakistan vs. Bangladesh T20 series promises to deliver thrilling, high-energy cricket. Both teams are going through a transition phase and are hungry for success. With rising stars on both sides, fans can look forward to exciting performances and tough competition on the field.
