In a significant development, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officially confirmed the schedule for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh. The Tigers were originally supposed to face Pakistan in three ODIs and as many T20Is as a part of the PCB's future tour programme (FTP).

Meanwhile, the governing body added two more T20 Internationals to the originally proposed schedule. The first two matches will be played at Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad, a venue that hosted an international match way back in 2008 for the last time. 

The remaining three T20Is of the series will be held at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore between 30th May and 3rd June.
