In a bid to prepare them well for the upcoming Champions Trophy, Bangladesh will play a practice game against Pakistan Shaheens at the ICC Cricket Academy in Dubai today (Monday), reports BSS.
Pakistan Shaheens, originally the Pakistan A team, will feature some of the national discarded players with Moahmmad Haris leading the side.
This is the lone practice game scheduled for Bangladesh for the tournament, being held for the first
time since 2017 in England. Bangladesh were the semifinalist of the tournament in the last edition.
