LAHORE: The last group of Bangladesh cricket team members arrived in Lahore on Monday, in time for the three match T20I series against Pakistan which kicks off tomorrow, May 28, at 8:00 PM.

The final group included the likes of Litton Das, Shoriful Islam, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Towhid Hridoy. Support staff were also in the group.

Hasan Mahmud, Tanvir Islam, Parvez Hossain Emon, and Tanzim Hasan Sakib, all arrived earlier on Sunday.

The series, which was originally scheduled to be a five match T20I tour beginning on May 25 in Faisalabad, is now a three-match series which will take place on May 28, May 30, and June 1. All three matches will take place in Lahore at Gaddafi stadium.

The schedule was revised due to escalating tensions between Pakistan and India earlier this month, which forced the Pakistan Super League (PSL) to be suspended. The PSL final was moved to May 25, creating a scheduling conflict with Bangladesh’s tour.

Following a meeting between Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chairman Nazmul Abedeen, the new schedule was established.
