LAHORE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Oct, 2019 ) :Pakistan will host Bangladesh U16 for two three-day and three one-day matches from October 25 till November 8 as a part of Pakistan Crickets Boards continues efforts for the restoration of international cricket in the country.
The Bangladesh side will arrive in Rawalpindi on October 22 for what is the reciprocal tour after Pakistan U16 toured Bangladesh earlier this year in April and May.
The five matches will be played at Rawalpindi's Khan Research Laboratories Ground (KRLG).
During this time, Bangladesh women's team will be in Lahore for three T2oIs and two ODIs against Pakistan women's team.
After the success of Sri Lanka's tour to Karachi and Lahore, this series is expected to further underscore Pakistan's ability to host international teams and establish the country as a safe tourist destination ahead of Sri Lanka's return to Pakistan in December for Tests and Bangladesh's men's team tour early next year.
PCB Director, International Cricket Operation, Zakir Khan said here on Monday, "I want to thank the Bangladesh Cricket board for sending their U16 side to Pakistan.
