Islamabad: The Bangladesh Test team has arrived in Islamabad for the first Test against Pakistan which will be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from 7-11 February. The 14-member squad is led by left-hander batsman Mominul Haque whereas Tamim Iqbal has returned to Test squad after 10 months. Soumya Sarkar, Rubel Hossain, and Najmul Hussain Shanto have also made their return while Imrul Kayes and Mustafizur Rehman were left out due to injuries.
The tickets went on sale for the Rawalpindi Test yesterday. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to retain the prices at lower rates just like the series against Sri Lanka.
It must be noted that the second match of the Test series will be played after the Pakistan Super League (PSL) along with one-off ODI.
