An agreement has been reached for Bangladesh to play two Tests, an ODI and three Twenty20 matches in a three-part tour of Pakistan.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan had stated that the Tigers would only play three T20 matches against Pakistan this month.
Hassan said tension in the Middle East between Iran and the United States was the main reason they would only agree to a short trip to Pakistan.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday announced that a schedule of three T20s this month and Tests in February and April either side of a one-off ODI has been agreed.
