The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced ticket prices for the upcoming three-match T20 International series against Pakistan, set to begin on July 20 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.  In a bid to cater to a wide range of cricket enthusiasts, the ticket prices have been set between Tk 300 and Tk 3,500. The BCB has also adopted a digital-first approach for the ticketing process, with tickets going on sale online from July 15 through the board’s official e-ticketing platform. 

Fans will be able to select their preferred match, gallery, block and number of tickets before completing their purchase via card or digital wallet. Each registered account will be permitted to buy a maximum of four tickets per match. Both digital and printed versions of the tickets will be accepted for entry at the stadium.  According to the BCB, any remaining tickets not sold online will be made available at designated booths near the stadium on match days.

The locations of these booths will be announced on the board’s official digital platforms ahead of each game.  The ticket pricing categories are as follows: Tk 300 for the Eastern Gallery, Tk 400 for the Northern Gallery, Tk 800 for the Shaheed Abu Sayed Stand and Club House, Tk 1,500 to Tk 3,500 for the Lounge and International Gallery, and Tk 2,500 for the Grand Stand.  All three T20Is will be played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, with the second and third matches scheduled for July 22 and 24 respectively.

The fixtures are scheduled to begin at 6:00pm local time.  Pakistan’s national side is expected to arrive in Bangladesh on July 16. The series will mark a rematch between the two teams following their last meeting in May, when Pakistan completed a 3-0 sweep on home soil.  The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on July 8 confirmed its 15-member squad for the tour, with all-rounder Salman Ali Agha continuing as captain. Vice-captain Shadab Khan and fast bowler Haris Rauf have been ruled out due to injuries. 

Shadab recently underwent shoulder surgery in the United Kingdom to treat a recurring issue in his right shoulder. Haris Rauf, meanwhile, sustained a Grade 1 hamstring injury while representing the San Francisco Unicorns during the ongoing 2025 edition of Major League Cricket (MLC) in the United States.  The Bangladesh squad is yet to be announced as the team is currently engaged in a T20I series against Sri Lanka, which is levelled 1-1. The final match of that series is set to be played on July 16 in Colombo. 

Pakistan squad for Bangladesh T20I series: Salman Ali Agha (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Ahmed Daniyal, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Hassan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Haris (wk), Mohammad Nawaz, Sahibzada Farhan (wk), Saim Ayub, Salman Mirza, Sufyan Moqim.
