Pakistan and Bangladesh were knocked in the quarter finals of 2015 ICC Cricket world cup by Australia and India respectively but both teams have a great chance of getting over world cup disapoinments when they take on each other for a full fledged tour starting from 17 April 2015 with 3 one day matches, 2 test and 1 Twenty20 international game scheduled in Bangladesh.
We are likely to see many changes in Pakistan team squad specially in the ODI format where some of the senior players have retired with the likes of Shahid Afridi, Misbah ul Haq and Younis Khan although (misbah and Younis will still be part of test squad and Afridi is likely to lead T20 matches for Pakistan.
