Students to get free entry for the Ban vs Pak Test series

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have announced free entry for students during the two-match Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh. The series, which is set to begin on May 8, will be played across two venues: Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, Dhaka and Sylhet International Stadium.

Free entry for students

"On the occasion of the upcoming Bangladesh vs Pakistan Test Series, a special opportunity has been introduced to encourage young cricket enthusiasts to experience the ultimate form of the game from the stands and galleries," the BCB said in a statement.

"Students from schools and educational institutions, wearing their respective uniforms and carrying valid ID cards, will be granted free entry to designated stands/galleries," it added.

This complimentary pass also includes those under 15 enrolled in cricket academies.

"This privilege also applies to trainees under the age of 15 who are enrolled in private cricket academies. These trainees must wear their official academy kits to receive complimentary access to the stadiums," the BCB concluded.

WTC Cycle

Pakistan and Bangladesh will face each other in a Test match for the first time since the latter won the series 2-0 in August 2024. That was the first time Bangladesh won a Test match against Pakistan.

The two teams will enter the business end of their respective World Test Championship (WTC) campaigns this year, having played only two matches so far.
