The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday announced the 15-member squad for the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh set to be held later this month.

Pakistan’s tour will be a reciprocal one after they hosted Bangladesh for three T20Is over the last two months, all won by the home team and played in Lahore.

According to a press release by the cricket board, Salman Ali Agha will continue to lead the side in the T20Is.

“The three-match T20Is series between Pakistan and Bangladesh will be played from July 20-24 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka,” the statement said.

The matches will be held on July 20, 22 and 24.

The squad for the white-ball series against West Indies will be announced in due course, the statement added.
