DhakaBangladesh will visit Pakistan on March 11. This will be the first time the Bangla Tigers have played since they chose not to take part in the T20 World Cup. After a long break, ODI cricket will also be back in Dhaka. This is especially true for Pakistan, which will play a 50-over series in Bangladesh for the first time in more than ten years.
Both sides see the contest as an early step in getting ready for the Cricket World Cup 2027. Pakistan has brought a mix of well-known and up-and-coming players with them, while Bangladesh wants to prove themselves again after their controversial exit from the ICC event.
The Shaheen Shah Afridi-led team has chosen to try new things in the ODI series, which is interesting. They chose six new players, but they left out older players like Naseem Shah and Saim Ayub. Head coach Mike Hesson doesn't like the idea of calling them "dropped," but there really isn't any other way to say it because all three cricketers have been having a hard time lately.
Abdul Samad, Maaz Sadaqat, Muhammad Ghazi Ghori, Saad Masood, Sahibzada Farhan, and Shamyl Hussain are among the newcomers who have received recognition for their efforts with the Pakistan Shaheens and their excellent domestic performances. Among them, Farhan is most likely to make his debut after establishing his dominance in the T20 World Cup.
Three players will get their first ODI caps in the first game, according to Afridi. According to reports, Hussain will take the No. 3 spot, changing Pakistan's top order for the series, and Farhan and Sadaqat will start the innings.
Additionally, the hosts have changed their roster. Afif Hossain, an all-rounder, adds depth to the lineup while Nahid Rana and Shoriful Islam return to bolster the pace attack. However, Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali, and Nurul Hasan have not been included. Litton Das, a seasoned hitter, will occupy the No. 5 spot in the middle order, according to head coach Phil Simmons.
