Members of the Pakistan national cricket team coaching staff have arrived in Dhaka ahead of the upcoming three-match One Day International (ODI) series against the Bangladesh national cricket team.
The first ODI of the series is scheduled to take place on March 11 in Bangladesh. Pakistan’s players are expected to arrive in Dhaka on March 9, but the team’s coaching staff reached the country earlier to finalize preparations.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh has already begun training in preparation for the series, while Pakistan is holding a training camp in their home country before departing for Bangladesh.
The three-match ODI series will begin on March 11, followed by the second and third matches on March 13 and March 15 respectively. All games will be played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka. Each match is scheduled to start at 2:15 PM local time.
