Atletico win in vain as Botafogo advance at CWC

In a major breakthrough for regional cricket, Pakistan and Bangladesh have officially agreed on a T20I series following high-level talks between the two boards. The development comes after a meeting between Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Chairman Nazmul Abedin and President Faruque Ahmed. Bangladesh’s national team is set to visit Pakistan this month for a three-match T20I series. دبئی . پاکستان کرکٹ بورڈاور بنگلہ دیش کے درمیان مذاکرات کامیاب بنگلہ دیش کرکٹ ٹیم سیریز کھیلنے پاکستان کے دورے پر آئے گی چئیرمین پی سی بی محسن نقوی اور بنگلہ دیش کرکٹ بورڈ کے چیئرمین نازملعابدین و صدر فاروق احمد کے درمیان طویل ملاقات کے بعد فیصلہ ہوا بنگلہ دیش اور پاکستان کے… pic.twitter.com/qsvqaZFzGF — PCB Media (@TheRealPCBMedia) May 20, 2025 All matches will be played in Lahore, marking another important moment in Pakistan’s efforts to bring international cricket back home on a regular basis. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi expressed his appreciation to his Bangladeshi counterparts for finalising the tour. “We are grateful to the BCB leadership for their trust and cooperation. This series is another positive step in strengthening cricketing ties between our nations,” he said. The PCB had hoped to host matches in Faisalabad as well, but it seems revival of cricket in Faisalabad will have to wait. The exact dates are expected soon, but the confirmation itself signals growing confidence in Pakistan as a host for international cricket. Reports initially suggested that multiple Bangladeshi players have expressed hesitation about playing a full five-match series due to continuous cricketing commitments.
