LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday announced its 12-man squad for the first Test against Bangladesh.
Pakistan’s clash with Bangladesh will start in Chittagong’s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium from Friday.
The second Test will be played at Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium, Dhaka from December 4.

He spoke about his side’s performance and said that he expects his team will perform well in the series. “The batting line-up includes senior players, who play spinners well. The players joining the Test squad were playing domestic cricket and we will benefit from this,” he stated.
