The eleven that Bangladesh can take against Pakistan

Bangladesh team's tour of Pakistan, the first test of the two-match series begins today. Team Tigers are facing Pakistan after almost three years in white. Nazmul Hossain Shanto wants to prove his batting improvement. And Pakistan captain Shan Masood is afraid of Tigers' experience. The match will start at 11 am at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Wednesday (August 21).

Shakib Al Hasan is separated from the field of politics and focused on cricket. But the game of politics is going on in the cricket board. On non-boarding and restructuring issues. That also does not escape the notice of the team in distant Rawalpindi.

Bangladesh is returning to red ball and white dress cricket after five months. International cricket starts after about two months. The middle period is turbulent Bangladesh. Test is not Bangladesh's favorite format. On foreign soil. And that is in Pakistan. Where the Tigers have never won a match. 13 shows between the two teams have achieved a draw so far.

This stadium in Rawalpindi is not unknown. The only Test was held in Pindi in the last tour four years ago. The shame of the loss in the innings gap is the failure of the batters. With the pace of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Nasim Shah. This time again these two pacers are in the Pakistan XI.

But Bangladesh will not be so brave for sure. Shakib Al Hasan will play in the all-rounder quota. Mehdi Hasan Miraj or Taijul Islam, who will the team choose? Syed Khaled, Shariful Islam, Nahid Rana and Hasan Mahmud can be seen in the XI.

However, Pakistan has already announced their XI 40 hours before the start of the match.
