To take this forward and ensure we continue to look after our fans, we have decided to reduce ticket prices and make it more affordable. The upcoming T20Is will be of significant interest as these will lead into the HBL Pakistan Super League, which will be played from 20 February to 22 March with Lahore staging 14 matches, including the final. The Bangladesh T20Is are a continuation of our celebration of the cricket season and we want our fans to be an integral part of this journey."

I must thank our ticketing partner for the expediting the process to ensure the spectators still get enough time to plan their attendance."
