DHAKA (Kashmir English): The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced ticket prices for the three-match T20I series against Pakistan, scheduled to begin on July 20 (Sunday) at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.

Each registered account will be allowed to buy a maximum of four tickets per game.
Both printed and digital versions of the tickets will be accepted for entry at the stadium.
