Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan 2024: Schedule, Venues, Squads, And Head To Head Record. The Bangladesh cricket team is now preparing for an important visit to Pakistan in August 2024, during which they will engage in two Test matches as part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle. It’s an important game between both sides, having a fair chance of getting some very vital points in the championship.
Over the last few Test series, Bangladesh and Pakistan have been in contrasting form. A couple of games ago, in the series against Afghanistan, Bangladesh were very poor, while last time out they were competitive against the West Indies, showing them their best but also their inconsistency. During this time, Pakistan has had solid results and a strong series against Sri Lanka and a noteworthy performance against New Zealand, showing their rising form.
Key players for this series will include Shakib Al Hasan from Bangladesh, whose all-round abilities often changed the game’s complexion. From the Pakistani side, Babar Azam seems incomparable at present as a run scorer and captain, while fast bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali both have the potential to be game-changers in the series.

Head-to-Head Record
The two teams have played 13 matches against each other, with Pakistan winning an impressive 12 of them and one match drawn. To make things worse for Bangladesh, it has not been able to register a victory in the history of Test cricket against Pakistan. But off late, with improvement in Test cricket, Bangladesh does have the resources that could see them mount a good challenge against Pakistan, especially considering their strong record at home.
