Pakistan vs Bangladesh Test panel announced by PCB

The PCB has just released the commentary team for the upcoming much-anticipated Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh. It promises to be a rather interesting series for which the PCB dug deep to bring to the table a strong lineup of cricket experts who are roped in to keep fans engaged throughout the matches.

One of the mikes will be handled by Aamir Sohail, one of the former Pakistani cricketers who has won a lot of respect for his incisive observation. He will join with Athar Ali Khan, a former Bangladeshi cricketer who has ample experience and a fine grip over the knowledge of the game. Bazid Khan has won over the fans with his analytical bent of mind while commenting clearly on the goings-on. Now, adding an international flavor to the team, Nick Compton, a former England cricketer, is about to bring in a different perspective on the game. Urooj Mumtaz, known for her eloquence and gritty commitment at the microphone, completes this stellar line-up. It has Sikander Bakht as its anchor, very personable and vivacious in his own style.

The series is likely to open with the first Test at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from August 21 to 25, while the second Test will be held at the National Bank Stadium from August 30 to September 3.

The visit will be greatly unique for Bangladesh to Pakistan since it would mark their first Test visit since 2020. On that occasion, they played three T20Is in Lahore and a Test in Rawalpindi. More lately, it was their participation in the ACC Asia Cup 2023, which took place in Lahore and pitted them against Afghanistan and Pakistan. Bangladesh will again visit for participation in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 alongside some of the world elite teams like Australia, England, and India.
