ICC World Test Championship: Bangladesh men’s team will be arriving in Lahore on August 13 in a bid to get extra preparation time ahead of their two-match Test series against Pakistan, said the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

Bangladesh and Pakistan will play two ICC World Test Championship fixtures in Rawalpindi and Karachi from August 21-25 and August 30-September 3 respectively. Bangladesh were originally scheduled to arrive in Islamabad on August 17.

However, the ongoing unrest in the country and a change in the government meant there was uncertainty over their timely departure for Pakistan and their having adequate preparation time for the series.
