Bangladesh Squad for Test Series Against Pakistan: Bangladesh will play Test series against Pakistan from August 21. The two teams will play a two-match Test series. The Bangladesh team has been announced for this series. After a long time, Taskin Ahmed returned to the Test team of Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Cricket Board has selected a 16-member squad for the series held under the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25. Najmul Hossain Shanto will be seen as the captain of the team. A total of 5 fast bowlers have been kept in this team, which will see the Bangladesh team in attacking mode against Pakistan.

Fast bowler Taskin Ahmed played his last Test match in June last year. Despite this, he was selected in the Test team. Chairman of National Selection Panel Gazi Ashraf Hussain said, Keeping in mind that Taskin Ahmed will be playing his second Test, we have selected five fast bowlers. He hasn't bowled a Test since June last year and we gave him that. It has been decided to include him in the squad for the second four-day match against Pakistan A, so that he can be in rhythm for the longer format matches.'

Pakistan and Bangladesh have played 6 Test series so far, but Bangladesh has not won a single Test match against Pakistan. In such a situation, there is a chance for Bangladesh to make history, because the Pakistan team is not in rhythm at the moment.

Apart from this, there has been a coup in Bangladesh, due to which the Bangladesh team will also be on the lookout. 13 Test matches have been played between Pakistan and Bangladesh, but Pakistan won 12 matches. Bangladesh team has succeeded in drawing only one match.
