Bangladeshi pace bowler Nahid Rana has opted out of the upcoming tour of Pakistan, a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official said on Wednesday.

Trainer Nathan Kelly and fielding coach James Pamment have also withdrawn from the tour for the three-match T20I series.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday announced a revised schedule for the upcoming three-match T20 International series against Bangladesh.

Originally planned as a five-match series, it has been reduced to three matches, all of which will be played under lights at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium from 28 May to 1 June.

The series will begin on Wednesday (28 May), with the second match scheduled for Friday (30 May) and the final game set for Sunday (1 June). All three matches will start at 8:00 PM local time.

The Bangladesh team is expected to arrive in Lahore on 25 May and will train on 26 May and 27 May as they prepare for the much-anticipated contest.
