Both teams will train at Lahore\u2019s Gaddafi Stadium on May 26 and 27, ahead of the opening fixture. Captains of both sides will also hold a pre-match press conference on May 27. All three T20Is will be held at Lahore\u2019s Gaddafi Stadium, starting on May 28 and concluding on June 1.\u00a0  first T20I will be played on Wednesday, the second on Friday and the final on Sunday. All matches will begin at 8:00pm local time. Originally, Bangladesh was scheduled to arrive in Pakistan on May 21 in two groups, with a five-match T20I series planned to begin on May 25 in Faisalabad. However, logistical adjustments and security considerations led to a revised three-match series, all to be hosted in Lahore, following the revision of the schedule in the wake of recent standoff between Pakistan and India. The PCB announced a 16-member squad for the T20I series, with Salman Ali Agha named captain and Shadab Khan as vice-captain. The selection is based on performances in the ongoing PSL X.\u00a0 The squad includes Hasan Ali, Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Faheem Ashraf, Hussain Talat, Sahibzada Farhan, Mohammad Wasim Jnr, and Naseem Shah. Notable exclusions are former captain Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi.\u00a0 Abbas Afridi, Abdul Samad, Jahandad Khan, Mohammad Ali, Umair bin Yousuf, Sufyan Muqeem, and Usman Khan were also left out. This series marks the beginning of Mike Hesson\u2019s tenure as head coach. Meanwhile, Bangladesh will be led by Litton Das, who was appointed T20I captain earlier this year after Najmul Hossain Shanto stepped down. Off-spinner Mahedi Hasan is the vice-captain for both the UAE and Pakistan tours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- LAHORE: The first group of the Bangladesh cricket team has arrived in Lahore for the three-match T20 International series against Pakistan.
